When feeders become pets

[BPSnakeLady]

My son has mice. Watching the two mice on the one meal is pure hilarity.

They really are a blast to watch. I have enjoyed looking at my rat babies when they play fight and well... when they do ANYTHING I never thought of myself as a rat person until I bottle fed my first one. Love them now and there is no going back.

I really really loved my pet rats but I am going mice deliberately because I'd rather watch than interact . My dogs are so high demands and energy that it's nice to have something cute and cheerful without worrying about its social needs or it wanting things from me a lot.

But I LOVE these mice. They're cute and watching them bounce around just makes me grin.





Plus, decorating the tank is fun.

Here are a few updated pics of my Karma. She is between 5-6 weeks old now and a doll. She finally stopped that biting crap!




And my other feeders are becoming breeders:


All of these babies are treated as pets and they are very loved

I can see why you like to keep them around. They look so sweet! I love to watch videos of mice bopping around. It's like they don't have a care in the world

I think I might be figuring out how to get decent mouse pictures.



















Yeah. I went off the deep end.

Yes! Lots of show mouse people use the bottom of the glass technique!

I am surprised you remember that...it's been a long time since you were welcome in the show mouse community.

Where I get my feeders if they refuse a live meal I can bring it back for a feeder credit the next day, worked well when I tried to size up my rainbow boa and he didn't want the bigger rat

My boa didn't want her rat so here I am with a small rat. Normally I'm a snake person, but this little guy was too cute. He is my first rat

This is him
