    I have a stupid question

    Are balls deaf?
    Because I've been getting into ballons animals lately, and when I'm playing with my ballons they tend to pop alot. I don't want to scare my ball and make him nervous.
    And it's kinda weird lately because he won't eat again. Right after he shed.
    But I'm going to try again a few days later. And my mouse looks pregnant. Does it affect the ball if the mouse is pregnant?
    Thanks!

    Re: I have a stupid question

    They don't have ears, but they sense vibrations with their lower jaw. I guess it depends on how close you are to his enclosure, and how often it happens.

    Try refeeding in a week, or on your normal schedule. Is the mouse f/t? That'd be weird, but no, I don't think it will affect the bp. More protein perhaps.

    They actually do have the inner ear parts but just have no external ear opening. They probably hear as good as you would if you were wearing ear plugs.

    Thanks a lot!

    No I feed live. Now I'm deciding if I should wait a few weeks and see if my mouse gives birth.

    Balloon animals... dunno, I have weird hobbies.
    And they work nicely with magic too.
