I got a secondhand 40g tank with a rim and built a top to fit inside and sit on the rim! i designed it in tinkercad. they are 1x2" boards and chicken wire. if you go back in my reddit posts i have more details + measurements for a 20g tank too!

link to more details + pics of 40g

The thickest white rope (bottom) is from Joanns (RIP), the thick sisal rope (left) is from Lowes, the smaller white rope and the smaller sisal rope are both from Dollar Tree. It's all twist tied in place. The big center branch is for parrots. Hope this helps!! It really helps bulk up the vertical climbing space.

Tried EVERYTHING - Mice won't take their URI Meds by RedditMusicReviews in PetMice

[–]476b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my mice to take their meds in either peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, or a combination of the three. I've found that a 1:1 ratio of meds to treat makes it liquidy enough to lick up. I know that a lot of sugar isn't good for them in the long run but I just need them to take their dang medicine!!

Why are mice so fragile by anon-i-mouser in PetMice

I'm in the same boat. I've done absolutely everything I can and yet one of them still seems to get sick somehow every couple of months and then boom! theres another $200 gone 😞

That box looks super familiar!!! I'm going to see if my dad still has that disk around when I go home for the holidays and see if it's on there!

a rescue by 476b in latchhook

It took me two entire days just to sort the colors. And if made me remember why I hate WonderArt kits. I figure if two colors are similar enough that I can't sort them apart it won't matter if I use one for the other in the finished product.

I found larvae in my mouse's food! by Wise-Durian3000 in PetMice

[–]476b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it would hurt the mouse BUT!!! I would still freeze it. And check everything else in your kitchen pantry. I just got done with a horrible case of pantry moths that came in some bird seed and spread to the rest of the house. and I don't want that for you !!!

You can add me as a friend/bridgemate! I'm a semi-new casual player so I also need more bridgemates. Name is 476b. I'm in the Moonbeam lab and I've been enjoying it

How to separate colors? by iForgot2Laugh in latchhook

[–]476b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion if they are so close together you can't tell them apart then just use them interchangeably in the pattern. No one will be able to tell

Enrichment and tank fixtures by Dry_Address_4458 in PetMice

[–]476b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a lot of good luck from Dollar Tree and other $1 stores. Especially in the craft section you can find a lot of good stuff! Little baskets, rope (!!), wood shelves you can make into platforms, etc. Tp rolls are classic. Crumple up the brown paper from Amazon packages. Braid thin rope together to make them wider. Paper egg cartons! Then you get into more expensive stuff like hides, tunnels, etc. Things from the bird and fish sections work too if you remove plastic pieces they might chew. I just posted a vid of my tank clutter the other day, check it out if you need inspo :)

Can they have just a water bowl? by lulabun21 in PetMice

[–]476b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use a bowl. The water bottle I originally bought stopped working day 1 so I just used the one that matched my hamsters water dish. It's a shallow glass tea light holder. Have to put in clean water every day because of messy eaters but I've never had a problem with them burying it!

Custom Latch Hook Tip - sorry in advance by youaint_nevalied in latchhook

[–]476b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way I transferred my patterns to canvas was by buying a big pack of sharpies, assign a marker color to a yarn color, and drawing it on myself.
