I very much dislike saying this; My boyfriend realized he had received a pregnant mouse from the pet store, his snakes wouldn't eat her so he decided to keep her. Once her baby mice are adults he will feed them to his snakes. She gave birth 5 days ago and it was very successful, I left her...

So about 3 weeks ago I bought 2 gerbils from pets at home (Fudge and Cornflake). There house is set up with a tank below with sawdust and a cage above where there little house with soft bedding is for them to climb and dig in equal amounts. They have lots of wooden things to chew and mineral...

So about 2 weeks ago we added 3 new additions to our family, Nutmeg, Sassafras and Chi, the fancy mice. I immediately saw differences in Nutmeg and Chi's behavior verses Sassy's. I can't seem to hold them because they are very frantic and hate being touched while I can take Sass around the house...

Long story short: the vet I chose to possibly do the espay--one of the highest rated rat vets in Chicagoland--got the flu and had to cancel our appointment last Monday. We rescheduled for tomorrow, and I just got a call that she's still sick and our appointment has now been pushed back until...

I adopted two sibling female rats after a petshop employee's own pet rats had an unintentional litter and was giving them away free (this is a fish store and does not usually sell rats at all). Ginger is a beige hooded standard-eared and Jade is a black dumbo with a white belly. They were only...

So my family recently found this female cat. I have been calling her Meow. Meow is super skinny and her front paws are declawed. But she is very obviously pregnant. We checked her feces for worms so she is not loaded with worms. We checked around our town, the local vet and shelter, and nobody...

Help! I just rescued a gorgeous fancy mouse from a pet store who put males and females together and didnt give all the mice proper food. I went to get my two mice a new female friend because They have a pimped out large ferret cage and have the space for a new climbing buddy! I ended up being...

I recently adopted two female spiny mice. One of them seems quite large and is bulging on her sides. The bulge moves from side to side, and her stomach feels quite firm. It's hard to feel any movement because she breathes so fast (all of my spiny mice do). The other spiny mouse is a female for...

I recieved a chinchilla about 4 weeks or so ago. It wasn't my decision my mom just said her friends friend had chinchilla litter and so she got a cage and a chinchilla. Anyways, everybodies saying she's pregnant even though there's no way to tell from what I've researched. She's possibly 6mo old...

I bought a new female rat last week from a pet store. I've owned a rat in the past and really enjoyed her and just thought it was time for another one. I brought the rat home, who is now affectionately named "Mama", and set her up in my bedroom. She wasn't particularly fond of me or being...

I have a breeding trio of mice and have a couple questions. The male bred the females within the first week of being in the cage and kept trying to breed for a couple days. It has since been two weeks and he does not seem interested sexually anymore with the does.:confused: Does this mean they...

So yesterday my boyfriend and I go to a little pet store in a nearby mall. We originally went in for a lady rat for one of our big boy's. We decided not to though because the conditions were horrible! All cages were very warm, the water low and no food bowls to separate their food from their...
