litter mates

Hey, I have always been an animal lover, particularly in reference to dogs, but they are not the reason I am now on this forum. My three dogs Beau (mine), Cream and Wolfie (my two sisters') are our adorable little litter mates and our 21 hens and rooster (Derby) are extremely funny, but the...

We have 2 tabbies, brother and sister. We recently lost the girl due to a coyote. We found the boy in a tree he was terrified. They were litter mates. How can I help Clyde with his loss and traumatic experience he has been through, he keeps searching for her.

Hi there! I'm new to the group and just thought I would introduce myself. I am a second year student in a vet tech program, and will be graduating in May. I had a rat, Lydia, a couple of years ago but she died of a respiratory illness. I've just gotten another young female rat, Sienna, from...

Hello all! I've got 2 boy mice that are going to be 7 weeks old this Friday (1/18/08) and I saw one of them was mating with their room mate, a little girl about 4 months old. So my question is, is this little guy old enough to get her pregnant? I have spare cages and what not, so I'm prepared...

Hello, all. I have two male degus which are 13.5 months old at this time. They have always play fought frequently, but just yesterday this turned into real fighting, indicated by tail thumping, strong grunting, and (unfortunately) injury since the fight in which the injury occurred was...

I got him about two weeks ago. My boyfriend and I were at the petstore and we were looking at the rodents. We both saw this little baby rattie that was so cute. Well I put my hand up to the cage and he started trying to walk up to my hand. Then another rat in the cage started beating him up...

Hello everyone. I'm in a bit of a situation here >_>. So I bought two mice from a petco about a month or so ago, thinking they were both female (that's what the sign said, but their incompetence knows no bounds.) Well about a week after I noticed that one of the mice had become noticeably...

Okay so everyone knows my ordeal a few months ago with rats we acquired at the petstore. We fell in love with them but unfortunately could not keep them well even with several rounds of anitibiotics, poor little dears. So I swore never again to buy a petstore rat. That's when my husband and I...

Well, my babies are now 15 days old and I am in BIG trouble! I want back to the pet store to ask if I could give them back (not even sell them) and they said their policy does not allow that. Being in a small town, they are the only pet store that accepts mice that are not frozen pinkies (the...

I have one mouse that's mostly dark grey white a white stomach and lower jaw and a white comma/stripe shape on her back and I have a tan/orange mouse with on heart shaped white spot on the lower half of his stomach pointing towards his upper half. Does anyone know what kind of mice they are...

Hi all!Im thinking about getting some pet mice.Do you think i should?Are they fun or anything?And how many?And male or female?Thanks!:D:thumbsup:

Errrr.... I was going to adopt a few mice from another local fancy breeder. For three months I have been led to believe I was going to get one to three brindles depending on sexes and color. Now she's trying to give me black eyed whites.Which are the ones I believe she does not want. Not to...

Yeah, so I was thinking about it even more. (You know, about getting my rat a friend.) And I came up with two good reasons why I should get her a friend (besides everyone saying she needs one). 1. I often leave for the weekend and go over my parents' house. I used to leave my hamster home...

Ok we went into petsmart today and Jon picked out these two rats. We really only wanted the first one but when the hoody came out and started pulling on his tail, we realized that they were friends, so we couldn't leave him behind. There were only 5 in the cage and i really wanted all of them...

Everyone knows I have been wanting a third bunny that actually likes me. I tried to get that Momma bun but she was "sold". I have been searching around the internet for a large lop eared male but no one was really jumping out as being extra loveable like I want. Well, every weekend I would see...

in about a mounth i'am planning on getting some mice from my local PetSmart. and since they only have males up for adoption i was wondering if it would be okey for them to live together since changes are they were origanly litter mates. i plan to house them in a 10 gallion aquariunm attached to...

My two female mice (I got them from the pet store and they came pregnant, we even asked them about the chances of that and the girl told us very slim as they were separated early enough, but that is another story) just both had their litters. One had 13 two weeks ago and the other had 6 a week...
