Hello, Fellow Mice Lovers:
First time posting. I sure hope this is the appropriate place to post this. I apologize if it isn't.
I'm from Massachusetts. Not too far from Boston. I became a mouse lover a few years ago. I have several pet deer mice. Several of them will take food from my hand, but, tend to be shy and not easy at all to handle. I actually started out with just two young deer mice. I thought they were both males. Turns out one was a female. I ended up with a few unexpected litters before I separated the mice by sex. My mice population has varied over the last couple years. At the most, I think I had twenty-five mice.
I gave 12 mice to a woman who also shares my love of mice, and had recently lost several of hers from old age during the last several months. This was to make my numbers easier to manage. I hated letting them go, but it was really the practical thing to do. I still miss them very much.
Unfortunately, as much as she loves them, the woman who had my 12 mice is now moving from her home into an apartment complex in just a few weeks. There are no pets allowed at her new place. She has to give up the mice she took from me. She has not found a new home for them, and I am not sure it would be wise to add any more mice to my current number. That would bring my total from 15 mice up to 27! That's too big a number to handle. It would mean at least 2 more cages to clean and feed. Part of me really wants them back, but the other part of me can see me starring on that show Hoarders before too long. It's just too much for me I'm afraid. I'm wondering if anyone knows a possible caring home for these cute little guys. Any thoughts, or suggestions would be most appreciated!
