Things are going great with our new mouse Calypso. She has gotten over her shyness and will now allow herself to be picked up...




Caly has to sniff the hand carefully first, checking each finger seperately, but once satisfied that I smell okay she will carefully climb aboard...




She really has been growing a lot lately, she has been gaining weight and length, I'm hoping she will get as big as her daddy, as her mom was a little smaller then him. Only time will tell...




What's important right now is for me to foster a good relationship with Calypso, as down the road I hope to breed her in order to continue our Pinto line...




If she doesn't fear me, and openly enjoys my presence, then that will give her future pups a much better chance of survival. A nervous mouse can be a poor mother, but it's looking like Calypso will be fine.
