I almost cried this morning...my good albino het black silky male breeder is looking *really* old and I just know it's time for him to be put down.

I put him in with my best breeder girl ("regular" brown mouse het black silky and albino) this morning in hopes she can get his engines running one last time and give me a new good boy as a keeper breeder.

Just sad since I've had this boy over a year and brought him back from the jaws of death...

We had a really cold night here about a year ago and when I checked on the "livestock" the next morning, this guy was barely moving, he was so cold. I brought him inside and held him close, snuggling him up under my chin, to get him warmed up and back to life.

He's always been such a sweety, never bitten me or peed on me...I can always just hold him with one hand while I clean his cage with the other.



So silly...I hate getting attached.
