I've decided to use this blog as "pet mice diary". I see a lot of informations on mice/rats in general, and of course it was helpful.. but what I really wanted was the info from mice owners' ...(with pictures and all) So yes. Here I am... about to begin my mice diary.. :)
I got two male fancy mice about 3 days ago at the pet shop... :) each one cost only 9.99$AUD (was reasonable price for me) but the cage was HooA!.. it was costy!! I paid 89.00$AUD for this model called "Tasmania Home" from S.A.M.. When I checked the price on line it cost only approx 32$(this brand is from U.S).. it must be shipping that cost hella a lot. :( what else did I buy... oh I bought this compressed wood shavings and a pack of muesli for my mice.. Total cost me approx 120$AUD..
I named my mice "Harold and Kumar" (HAHA). that was actually boyfriend's idea.. :P
Anyway..
Harold(white one) liked to be played but Kumar(Black one) was quite shy of me. so whenever I opened the lid to give them some food, Harold was the one who was willing to climb up to my hand and Kumar always ran into the wheel (and he knows I can't reach there). And i hated that feeling (of seeing Kumar running away from me) so me and my boyfriend decided to take them out of the cage and put them into an empty box.. just to interact with them a bit. (ANd those are the photos)
Kumar (6 weeks) 
Harold (6 weeks)
I spend about 15 mins just playing around with them with my two hands. IT FELT SO GOOODDD I never touched mice before and they are so tiny and warm!!! xD (supre cute too!) I did the same thing next day for few times and now they dont get scared of me. :)
mice needs a lot of toys... so I made some Homemade toys for my Harold and Kumar :) and they absolutely loved it! They are fun to watch for sure.. :)
if you have bear bottle holder like the one in the middle, give it to them! I LOVE it !! :) somtimes Harold sleeps inside ... :) I dont know if you can see them or not, but I made the little house made out of cardboard with alots of holes (so the mice can access anywhere they want) and made another little house out of egg carton. :) I bought that orange stuff (on the left side)... though they'd like it but hmm... they just touch it for few times , never play with it. :| (wasted 2bucks). ALso I bought little balls (the blue one in front of bear bottle holder) for them but... (another -2$ wasted). oh well.. I've never had mice before !!! im still learning! :P
yeah.. make sure you make a lot of toys.. they are active in midnight so u wanna make sure there are plenty of toys in the cage.. (otherwise mice will get bored and try to go out of the cage).
