REACTING TO MY SUBSCRIBERS MOUSE CAGES PT. 2

For a really long time, I was very interested in rats but after researching mice I think they are a better option for me! Thank you for all the mouse and rat video you put out since they really are a pet not too many people make tons of videos on.

[@TaqeeGreen]

I also wanted rats for a while, but then I started researching about mice and it's better for me because I already have a 40 gallon tank from a past hamster (R.I.P. Hazelnut💔) that I can use for mice. but it isn't high enough for rats and it isn't in my budget to get another cage.

[@sinandcyanide7505]

@@TaqeeGreen you wouldn't want rats in a tank anyway because it's hard on their lungs. I did find something similar to a double Critter Nation for $60 that would just need mesh added because the bar spacing is one inch so if that's in your budget, it's on Wish BUT has a lot of purchases and good reviews and a 30 day return policy with fast shipping. Just search "rat cage" or "pet cage." It should be the first result. The doors aren't as big as the Critter Nation, but the cage is. You can also pay $30 now and another $30 in 30 days so if you can make that happen, you're set 🙂

[@liebling4069]

Sin and Cyanide Yeah I found a $69 cage on amazon, and all I need is a mat for the ramps as it’ll hurt there little feet’s. It’s such a lucky find as the cage is fairly big too.

[@sinandcyanide7505]

@@liebling4069 that's awesome! I used silicone baking mats cut to size. They stay on pretty well without zip ties so it's super easy to clean them, the rats don't slide around on them as easily as they would on plastic placemats, and they're kind of soft so I'm sure it's more comfortable. They're not very expensive either. I also found a rubber kind of bath mat that works well for the cage bottom in one of mine, but it would likely be harder to mount on ramps because of the suction cups on the back.

[@jillrumps5410]

Yes + I am a bigger and I just need one and I want a male

[@stixandcritters4640]

8:50 this is my cage, thanks for adding it!! I know the green wheel is too small, I bought them a 20cm plastic wheel and they LOVE IT! And for the rats cage, I don't know its brand cuz it's a third hand cage, but the bar space is small and my mice can't squeeze through it :p

[@Emiology]

Oh good! I think it could definitely work if you do decide to use it for them! It looks quite tall so the only other thing i'd say with the rat cage is maybe add something in the middle just to make sure they don't fall from the top :)

[@soph4850]

One of the reasons why I like you is that even when you’re seeing a cage which is clearly less than ideal, you’ll still find the positives and you’ll give very constructive criticism instead of just screaming abuse, which is so refreshing to see Edit: I know this was nearly 3 years ago, but im getting mice very soon so im brushing up on research and looking for inspiration

[@snowwhiteandthedread]

Ahh my cage was the first mentioned! Thank you so much 😁

[@damnbro_idc]

14:24 I have a bit of a suggestion. Ikea has suction cups called Tisken and they could be used to hang up the rope. There are also other "platforms" for the shower that are for shampoos and what not, they can be used as levels or elevated burrow boxes

[@jojooffaraway2675]

I love this video series (for mice and for rats). I love how even when you critizise you always say something nice as well. Can't wait for another rat one :D

[@Emiology]

I try my best! 😅☺️

[@CaptainWolfStudios]

I have 3 mice: Stellaluna (black/tan), Lullaby (PEW Texel), and Nightshade (black self). I found a TON of plastic tunnels for free on the side of the road, which has allowed me to build them an elaborate set of tunnels with 5 chambers under their bedding and multiple exits/entrances. They also have a couple disconnected tunnels that lead down into their own smaller chamber. My mice use to be entirely feral, but now that I've given them the tunnel system, they're much more sociable with me and it makes me super happy!

[@laura7515]

i’m getting my hamster ready to move into an ikea detolf and we don’t have anything to do with the 40 gallon tank he is in so we’re getting 3-4 female mice. this has been very very helpful!! i’m still doing more research of course, but this mini series has given me so many ideas tysm! 💕

[@katherine9616]

The bin cage critter nation combo didn’t look like it had any ventilation on the bin bit!

[@Emiology]

I didn’t even notice that 😩 hoping at least the top is meshed out

[@bratatouille]

To me it looks like there's holes in the lid, but I of course can't say for sure.

[@animeloverxx8865]

What time is that

[@katherine9616]

10:37 holes in the lid aren't sufficient ventilation for small animals especially mice which urinate a lot and poor ventilation can cause a build up of ammonia and cause respiratory problems.

[@bratatouille]

@@katherine9616 I know. I have rats and proper ventilation is vital to them, since they are very prone to respiratory infections and produce a lot more ammonia than pretty much any other small animal. I would never keep mice, or any other animal for that matter, in a bin with just holes in the lid. I didn't say it was enough, simply that it looks like it has at least some ventilation.

Do mice need wheels? I'm getting a detolf for 2 females and I'm wondering if they need one. I know that they need one if the enclosure is on the smaller size but like my enclosure is quite big so 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@MckaylaExoticz]

If you have enough climbing enrichment and other activities to keep them active and busy, no, they do not need a wheel

[@Kirbyjer]

My boy has quite a large cage but still enjoys running on his wheel so I would always include one to give them the option

[@cecerats]

you can always add a wheel and if they don't use it take it out and add something else

[@bencarroll3179]

@@cecerats yea but I'm aiming for like REALLY naturalistic

[@ainsley.maddison]

Ben Carroll you can get some naturalist wheels, they’re just a bit more expensive than the plastic ones! I have a detolf for my 7 girls and I’d say a definite 5/7 of them use the 2 wheels that I’ve put in there! I would say definitely get one, mice are super active so the more active and enriching the environment, the more your babies will thrive! Busier is better!! The trixie wheel is a really good option, they offer them in wood too, so check them out!

Re. the tub cage connected to a small critter trail cage around 11:45: what about ventilation in the tub cage? I can't see any wire at all, it looks like a completely enclosed plastic box, where the only opening is the pipe to the critter trail cage, and possibly some small holes in the lid. So where do the mice get fresh air from when they're down in the tub cage?

[@myeroku4182]

For glass tanks I use window bird feeders and ledges - they attach with suction cups and to hang ropes I also use suction cup with hanger hooks attached.

This is just an anecdote, but I had a huge bin cage for all my mice (four females at two different times, and a male) and they never had lid fo their cages. The walls were super tall and nothing was close enough to the top. So there’s that! Also for the last one it says inches, not centimeters.

[@adelecollits6593]

Hi Emi! First I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing these videos and educating people about rats, mice and other creatures. I love what your doing. Keep it up! I really wanted to get rats but I don’t have enough space in my room so I was thinking one male mouse may be better. My local pet store sells a cage that is 50cm in length, 36.5cm in depth and 24cm tall. Do you think this will be big enough for him? I would also love to know if you think that a male mouse would be a lot of work because I am a kid and still go to school. I am able to scatter feed him if needed and bond with him in the afternoons. Will I have to look for a bigger cage? I know this video was posted quite a while ago but I hope you respond. I love you so much keep up the great work!

No even Male mice need a cage that’s 80x50cm minimum. I suggest making them bin cages ASAP as critter trails are too small for anything to live in

Emiology even if there only in there while I’m sleeping and for when I’m at like grocery stores ?

Hi Emi! 👋🏻 I am getting some new rat kittens in the New Year (1. From a reputable breeder, of course, and 2. YAY!!) and I'm looking into feeding and what is best to feed them. I want to incorporate live food into their diet (mealworms etc), but I've seen dividing opinions online over whether freeze dried insects are more nutritionally dense than live, do you have any insight into this please? 😌

[@Emiology]

That’s exciting! Live is more likely to have more nutrients in, especially if you gut load them and feed them fruit and veg, it’s also more enriching for them having live ones they have to hunt! If you make them a dig box with soil it’s great fun for them to search for them in there!

I had an escaped white mouse in my house. Didn't know where she came from, I hadn't had a mouse up until that point. But she decided to live here and I was like 'okay, but on my condition: in an enclosure'. Took me a month to catch her, I had a Ferplast Geo Maxi prepared for temporary because I didn't want to spend money on an enclosure while she was still running free, in case she ran outside and the money was spend for nothing. I bought a Petgard Elmo XXL (100*55*35cm, 7mm space between the bars, including a wheel, a platform and a stair) and a couple of friends. Big mistake, while I specifically asked for females I got at least one male, who murdered the other new mice and got the first mouse pregnant. 😬 Now I have 9 mice, if I have it interpret the right way 8 females and 2 males. Like 4 of them are definitely moving out as soon as they're old enough, daddy is also moving out soon. A couple of the female stay here, with their mother. 😊

I love mice and rats and I'm planning on getting a trio of mice eventually once I'm ready, but it throws me off how short their lifespans are...

[@063revEthgiN]

It IS hard, I recently lost my two mice (one through cancer and one through old age), and it is really tough, and you feel the pain the same way every time you lose one, but you do become accustomed to it. The way that I have found to cope is to think about how good of a life they had. My boy mice, and the gerbils I had before them, were all rescues, and their lives would have been a lot worse had I not had them. My mice in particular were about to become snake food. But instead I homed them and they had everything they ever wanted, they were such spoilt boys! And whilst they only lived until 3 (which is already a long life for mice!), it was a rewarding life for them AND me, no matter how short our time together was 💕 So whilst it is hard, they're still worth it x

[@ainsley.maddison]

I’ve had 2 mice die while in my care, it does suck, as does any death of a pet.. But it’s also awesome knowing that you gave them the best life possible and that they lived freely in the care of someone who loved them! Even better if they live past their average lifespan! That’s when you know you’ve done something right :)

Will you be doing another one of these videos in the future? I’m getting mice very soon and when I get them I’d love for you to react and give your opinion on my enclosure :)

[@willowanimated7476]

Is lettuce safe for mice? Also my mouse chews the bars of his cage. Is it because he's stressed it because he just wants attention?

[@Emiology]

Iceberg lettuce should be avoided because it’s too watery, but romaine lettuce should be fine!

[@willowanimated7476]

Emiology thank you

[@paigek409]

Hi! Love your videos! What do you feed your mice?

[@lillyhartwig5520]

Are you doing this again by any chance? I really need some advice!

[@carsynowens2165]

This makes me feel bad about my cage. I have one mouse I don't know its gender cause it was wild and I saved it from a trash can that it would have frozen in I'm not allowed to have him so I have him in a 10 gallon tank ( I know it's kinda small but google said it should be ok) everything is homemade and he is very shy do you have any advice?

[@carsynowens2165]

I kept referring to it as a him but idk the gender

[@Billybeth]

I'd personally think about releasing him/her back into the wild. Being trapped inside a cage when it's used to having free range will probably be extremely stressful to them. Plus wild mice can carry some extremely dangerous diseases that can make you seriously ill.

Where do I submit photos for mouse cage reviews? Or for suggestions

[@delaneys1425]

Are the bin cages good for mice? I’m scared mine will chew threw it?

[@flocarter2017]

I have a 280 square inch cage and am interested in getting a mouse. Would this be enough for one male mouse?

[@cookiebooandbella1806]

Probably but still quite small

[@lilawagner212]

Hey! I know you may not see this, but I just got my first mouse. He’s a small male (not very old). I was just wondering if it was okay to have a smaller cage for 1 mouse or if I should get a big one. I am currently using a bin cage with lots of ventilation for air, I’m not entirely sure how big it is, but I would love feedback from you or anybody in the comments!

[@ke4games]

I know this is from a week ago and i personally haven't owned mice yet but if you still need help even if you get 1 male the minim is a 20 gallon or equivalent to a 20 gallon🐭

[@definitelynotavegan7285]

The bigger the better. Minimum of 20 gallons but I say 40 gallons is better

[@asbyce5071]

i may be getting mice/a mouse, so please answer i need help!! 1. how many inches of bedding do they need? 2. what's a good diet? 3. what fruits and veggies can they have? 4. what beddings are okay for them? 5. how many times do i clean the cage, weekly? 6. what are some plants, hays, ect that are okay for them? 7. how big should the wheel be? 8. is sand, soil, and hay okay? 9. how many times should i clean their water bottle? 10. where should i get them? i'm thinking craigslist. please respond, i don't want to give them a bad home!!

[@ittoscrustysock7534]

Im not a professional, but id give them about 2-3 inches of bedding. And you should do your own research on the food so that no one gives you bad advice on it. My mice like blueberries, strawberries, they arent to fond of broccoli. The bedding you use shouldnt be scented or dusty, Aspen shavings work great. Depends on your mice, my 2 need their cage cleaned once every week. Not sure about plants/hay, but do not give them Alphalpa. They cannot digest it. Im pretty sure a wheel has to be atleast 8+ inches, i could be wrong though. I clean my mice' water everytime i clean their cage. And i would probably get them off Craigslist (as long as they didnt breed the mice) so your not supporting petstores

[@asbyce5071]

@@ittoscrustysock7534 thank you! i'm getting them in 3 days off of craigslist. i have a 12 inch wheel, aspen bedding, which i'll put 4 inches to be safe.

[@hippypower2823]

Is the Alaska cage good for mice

[@Emiology]

For mice yes, rats no

[@hippypower2823]

Emiology thank you , been doing loads of research on this cage checking if others use it for mice , I like it because it’s a good size and affordable and only 5 bad reviews

[@gracezimmerman2855]

Hi I was wondering I’m about to be a new mice owner and I haven’t seen people like to video on this before but am I able to use straw as a betting I’m doing as much research as I can because I wanna get my mice to live amazing lives as best of my ability I was just a question I just thought of it so if you could answer I would absolutely love to know thank you

[@Emiology]

You can use dust extracted straw and hay as nesting material or enrichment but not as the only main bedding as it’s not absorbent enough to soak up pee and will quickly start to stink

[@gracezimmerman2855]

How do I send In a picture of my cage I have two rats?

[@izzy5529]

I met this girl and she has her rat in a critter trail and I told her she needs to upgrade but she won’t listen what should I do ?

[@Emiology]

Send her all the resources that say why it’s bad that it’s alone in a tiny cage

[@sinandcyanide7505]

Good lord... poor rat! Maybe get her to watch Emi's videos on subscriber rat cages and get her to check out r/rats on reddit for examples. If she's so sure it's fine, have her make a throw away account and post a picture for feedback and she'll be in for an awakening. She can even make a bin cage really cheaply if she gets hardware cloth to mesh out the sides.

I am starting my own dandelion garden just for my babies (mice)

I love your videos ❤❤❤

[@gardenialiu]

can you use clear tape to make your own accessories? or is clear tape harmful for mice?
