    Hello wanted to say hi to you and winston. He is so presouse I think. I still love the big ears. I wish mine had big ears. English Mice have big ears maybe he is the English Fancey mouse. I know that pet shops and some breeders have intored the English in their lines to get a bigger ear tail and body length for show mice.
    Mix Pheonix who looked like winston passed after I came back from thanksgiving although she was very old she was 3 or 4 months old when I got her and healthy. I never got a chance to breed her but she was going on 2 years old and 2 she about after a year develpoed and eye cyst so I decited to not breed her becuase I had no idea if it was genetic or just something that happend. I always wait a while and get the unknow ones checked out before I ever decide to breed.
    you should get some more post up of him I could see pictures of him all day he is just so cute.

    Some of mine I got at petshops as in the arive of freash in becuase 9 times out of 10 they are health and seem moe sociable, rescued as in left on my front portch drop of when not home or I went to get them becuase I got a call. And some that were breeders like me starting out and one breeder breeder which was Tweedle.
    Yes starting from and unknow rat or very little histroy is tricky and takes a long comitment and lots of hard work and dedication to learn and also to keep track of the lines. Some breeders i contacted would sell to me as just pets but i wanted to breed and they were 1 to far away to attually come to see progress and 2 there were to far away to help really mentor me and be able to zip over to me if i need hands on or to keep a visual update. But they gave me advice and websites to help me and follow and I can call them up and or contact the sites and ask anything. So far I have been lucky. I could say and to a point wish I would have gotten from breeders with started lines and all but then again I would not have the exsperice of what it takes for some hard work. I grew up in the country the hills were you worked to get what you wanted and to get were you wanted and you worked hard and apresheated the hard work to get you there. Also there was alot that my rats tought me with the whole breeding and birthing and my other critters.
    Yes its time consumming but I clean fast and effecntly which i was tought to work hard and fast but get it right the 1st time and if a job is done corectly and fastly (which takes practice) you have time for other things and then to relax.
    I'm a work horese so to speek the meaning of vaction for me is critter play time and if there is enough time (also plenty of coffee Im a coffee-holic) to sit back then sometime I do just that with the ocsinal cold beer or my favort hard drink of some sort. JD perferably. That is ocasial. Our relaxation or vacation is when we go grocery shoping vactaion or relaxation sitting down while playing with the critters and wathching something on TV.
    But I couldnt be happers and comfy with my ruitin and no matter what happends that might come about that takes away or prolongs my rutin i always make up for it or fine a way to get back on track.
    I have a mouse same color as your winston. She has now 1 red eye. the other some how became infected a while back and the vet thinks that she got something in it or she scratched it by acident and it got infected and sorta sisted up but not a sisted absest. I treated it and we knew she would lose it but she is fine know and she dont act handy caped. I plan on breeder her here soon becuase she is still young. I planed before but her eye came about. Her name is Pheonix she is a Satin argenet. Which is what winston looks like. If Winston has a grey or lavender colored under coat then he is argente. if not he may be a yellow satin I think is what there called.
    Have you thought of getting male nutered? you can do that to mice get the male nutered and then reintor them becuase they wont have the hormones or testostarons of being territoral unless one is not agressive but had that dominets instilled in them. Also if they are fixed you can get a few females and then you dont have to worry about babies and they have cage mates. Boy he would proably feel lucky then and not have to worry if fixed paying mice suport for offspring LOL.
    I think he is the mouses Squa-week. you know what they say beuatuie is in the eyes of the beholder and some things are so ugly they are cute. But ugly things need love to. I dont think he is I think he is wonderful. you should put some more pictures up of rat and mouse photos I love seening him.
    Incase I forget have a happy thanksgiving you and winston and the rest of your family and pets.

    HI Mossa, I have 60 rats that are permently here as in my breeders and pet. I have about 30 for adoption from my litters all left. Cleaning is every day but if you have been at it for awhile you learn to clean fast and effecntly and have time for evey thing and every one. Granted there are days that I dont get to do this or that but its by choice.
    I do have gerblis 12 and dwarf hamsters 5 now and 1 black teddy bear one. 5 cats now we decited to keep the only surving orpahan kitten that we raised. They were all doing good being weened and 5 weeks just turning six but still getting formula and I woke up one morning to the one lone kitten I called ash can. the kitten were abandon adn the stray (who attually blongs to the neighbor) took of with one leaving 3 behind and one in our small burn pit. Henc the name ash can we left them there for a while inhopes she would come back but before night fall it was aprent she was not. She has retruned now but the people down the road from us own her and they told us that they only want her and the one kitten and would not take them. the SPCA did nothing.
    This was before ny cat the one with the kitten posted was found to be prego. who will be yes getting fixed. Female cats in heat are so anoying. I have 30 mice right now but some of them are babies that I got at the pet store in the feeder bins ready to have babies and I knew they would become snake for so some of them are going to new homes soon I have then places all except a few albinos who need homes but they have a home here till they do.
    I have 2 dogs and 4 G-pigs as well. 1 snake ( i buy its food) and a fish that is an oscer. Here is my sites well one which has all the other on them if you got down to the bottom of the home page. not all are done some are a long way from being done but its something i like to work on to relax and have fun with and try to keep it up dated to keep others who veiw it offten updated.
    well that is about all the critters I have. But I love every second of my pets weather cleaning or playing or what not with them, Their my family. well thanks and take care.
