Ooops another one

Well my excuse this time, was that this little one was destined to be snake food and there was no way I was letting that happen so here is my little 5 week old curly coated mouse Buttons and his new home

This is his huuuuuge cage.



And here's Buttons

He's cute although you're mad

You are mad! He is ADORABLE really glad you saved him poor little guy. What an absoltue cutie!!!

LOL.....I just get totally sucked in!! I just had to have him and he's having great fun in his cage bombing up and down the tubes. He runs up grabs some food and takes it back down to eat it lol

Awww, what a sweetheart! I bet he's happy you found him before a snake did!

Thanks Rezz.....I know we feed our snakes frozen mice but as soon as I saw this little one I had to have him. I've still got lots of things to get for him to play with and climb so will add them gradually so he always has different things going in.

That's so kind of you! He has a home, better than heaven there and he's a real cutie! i thank you for saving him, i hate mice being eaten as food for snakes

ahhh brill! good luck with him netty, hes fab!!! xD

oh netty you are much much worse than me. He is cute I used to keep mice as a child. The 2 "girls" turned out to be male and female and they had loads of babies who all escaped one night and scooted into mum and dads bedroom and were found chomping the apples stored under the bed! Then all the babies and the Dad went back to the pet shop so I had mum and one girl. A mouse from outside came into my bedroom and got stuck in the bars of the cage and my dad had to get some wire cutters to let him out. Tee hee! Then one year I took my pet mouse to the seaside for a weeks holiday. In a small cage Dad made, had him in a bag on my lap in the coach. The old ladies would have had a fit if he had got out! Happy days, and memories !! bu..er thats made me cry thinking of mum and dad!

Thanks guys

LOL @ Liz. I was never allowed anything as a child so me and my friend snuck into town and bought a hamster each. She told her parents she had found it so they bought a lovely cage and let her keep it. I hid mine under my bed for a week until Mum found it and went mad. I didn't get the cage though.....she made me take it back to the shop

haha he is cute though! is he red eyed or is that the flash? he looks pudgy in the last pic

They're not as red as an albino but the flash does bring it out more lol

He does look a podge when he's sat like that and his fur is quite thick and soooo soft.

haha bless him I love his whiskers they are really long!

Lol, I'm glad my LFS doesn't sell live feeders, or I'd end up taking all of 'em home! xD

Are they the same price as normal mice then. Euurgghh how could someone feed him to a snake.

he probably thinks all his fellow mice that disappeared went to a nice big cage with toys in someone's house....if only he knew the truth lol !

I know he sells some of them as pets, some he feeds to his own snakes (dead, never live) and some go as feeder food. I know most people with lots of snakes do breed mice specifically as feeders. But if you only have a few then it's cheaper to get them already frozen.
