This is Skrat, when she was 4 weeks old




This is baby Alex, a male mouse, living with his best friend, Skrat (they drink their formula together).



Here they are playing together!!~hide and seek



This is Skrat now, she is such a clutz.



This(on the far left) is Weasel, my hamster, who used to live with my mice (but she kept falling off my desk, and was later placed with Alex and Skrat).



These are some of my mice getting their weekly bathes.......

They're all so adorable! I really like the pic of the mice in the bath. Why is Skrat all wet in the first picture?

Aww, they are all very cute. I have never heard of giving mice a bath before though.

I had just finished giving her a bath, and decided to snap a shot of it.

its odd, when they are younger, them dont mind the bathes, and at one point I thought that I could teach them to like them. However, as soon as they get older they hate them.

They generally dont recomend it, but I personally think that giving them a bath once in a while using tear-free gentle baby shampoo is ok (especially when they have that mouse smell, or I have cleaned their cages).

Thanks, the hamster never bothered the mice. They were all the same size. The only problem was that she would not always stay on the desk and so after I would find her wondering around on the floor a couple of times, I decided to introduce her to my rat pack (which already included Skrat, and Alex the mouse). In the end that worked out for the best, since they live in a large cage. Alex and Weasel, the hamster, got along great (even a bit too great, because they started mating all the time and always slept together). Unfortunately, Weasel died recently and it was extremely sad; as she lay there dying while Alex stood by her side and comforted her till her very last breathe. This was the sadest and sweetest sight I have ever seen.
