Re: New rodents under my care...

I would love to show you pictures of Marigold's progress in our largest tank, but I have not seen hide nor hair of the little ASF since I added her to the group. During her first minute in there she vanished down into the PVC tunnel network and that was three days ago. I'm sure she comes out to eat and drink, but so far not when I'm in range.

I can show you her older friend though, who is currently living on her own...




Tumble is such a large creature, I'm hesitant to try her out with Fancy mice...




The white-faced Pied is easily three times the size of our largest Fancy and despite being gentle my worry is that a more fragile normal mouse might get accidently hurt during normal play...




I don't know, perhaps I am just being paranoid, the other Multimammate Marigold joined her new tank without a single incident, so why should Tumble be any different?




She certainly is a playful thing, she loves her gravity wheel. I recently put her in a 30g tank and made sure the first toy I put in was it, Tumble needs her hourly jog, lol.

The oddest thing, though, is that she doesn't appear to eat hardly anything. I had expected ASF's to be food hogs but nope. Anyway, going to have to think on the Tumble situation some more...
