Well, I currently only have does, no bucks, so smell isn't a problem. But there are two bucks at home and I have gotten used to the smell. You only smell it when you pick them up anyway, if you have proper ventilation.

Thank-you! I think they are beautiful too.

The tank can house 12, yes. There is a tank a little smaller then in, not as tall, back home, and they lived comfortably in there. In fact, I am hoping to put more in there soon. The tank is 4' 1" long and 1' 1" wide, so that's nearly four and a half square feet, lots of run around room. Plus I make the substrate deep for burrowing, as well as lots of large houses to climb on...

Two mice are fine together if they are girls. I keep three in a 30 gallon tank, they are very happy.

Well, when I came in to my new mouse room this morning I found some of the members of my big tank out and about, enjoying their new home...




Three were playing on the gravity wheel as you can see. It was a pitch battle to see who would be the master of it. The mouse on the wheel is named Strudel, she is a kind of mouse called a Skewbald. I bred her myself.

Here is Dhalia, the Black Self I showed you yesterday. She is cleaning the head of her sister Vala, a Broken Black doe...




And here is Vala getting her head cleaned by another mouse, Arcee, a Red-Eyed White who I took in as a rescue:




Vala likes to look her best and her friends are eager to help preen her.

A familiar face came out to say hello, it's Pixie...




That's all I saw this morning. Hopefully other mice will be out later today or tomorrow. I will take more pics...

Neza were you once a member of petshub under the name Area52 ( if i remember rightly ) just some of the mice look familiar to the ones on there.

If your not the same person then your mice are really cute.

Vala and Arcee were sitting on top of their purple sleeping hutch when I came into check on them this morning...




Vala soon left to check out the new food I put in their bowl, leaving Arcee behind...




The little REW is still a bit jumpy due to her two hour trip to get here, but after a minute she gave in and followed Vala to the bowl for some breakfast.

On the other side of the tank, three other girls were lounging atop the red house there...




The white one with the brown spots is Misty, a rescue from a mouse mill I got more then a year ago. The brown one is Priscilla, an Agouti. And the one in the back you know, it's my Black Self, Dhalia...

And look, Pixie came out, looking to be picked up:




Pixie is such a friendly little thing...

Your mice are so sweet! I was under the impression that mice fought unless they were from the same litter? I would love a massive tank with lots of mice in...hopefully one day I shall be able to! For now I've just got the two.

I'm delighted for you that you got all your micies back They're just lovely girlies!

Thank-you, StolenkissGerbils. I missed having them and now that they are back for good I'm very happy.

You can have a group of mixed females living in the same tank, Amy C, even if they are not all related. You just have to be careful doing the introductions. Not everybody fits in, which is why I have a second smaller tank with three mice. They didn't work out in my giant tank, but they are fine with each other. Of course, all three are related, which helps. Zala is Brin's mom, and Tasha is their cousin...
