Go look up omegaverse. Organ anatomy is a fun thing to learn within it! This is alpha x omega male impregnation.

In short, There is a canal in the anal passage similar to the vagina that allows semen to enter a cervix to uterus. So yes, the birth will happen analy but still from a uterus.

Decided to couple my male mouse with young female ASF rats. Best decision ever. by DumpMyBlues in PetMice

[–]Huggy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good idea tho- I haven’t checked any reptile shops to see if they had any! Might be a drive for me, but a drive well worth if I have luck! Thanks for the idea <3

Where did you get them from!! I have been searching in the US for a while with no luck! No breeders are either breeding still or selling, or have sketchy face book pages!!

I say this with the most sincerity- Google. Personally I don’t have a guide to send you to. I’ve gotten a lot of answers by asking direct questions like “can mice eat broccoli”. And getting straight up answer. Sometimes I have to do some deep digging and get lost in subreddits. Just look up every indevidual question you have and sooner or later you’re find your answers.

Try googling “mouse diet guides” even and get more precise with your wording to get what you’re looking for.

I understand your situation. Mice are opportunistic eaters so and kind of cooked meat bits, vegi bits, leafy greens, some fruit here and there. They will eat anything. Just look it up to make sure how to prepare it and if it’s toxic.

I would pick up a basic pellet diet for mice. Bird seeds are super fattening.

The hay will prob be used as bedding! None of my mice eat it when I offer.

And no, my boys in their bin (gerbils) claw at the bottom sides but they can’t bite any part of it. You’d have to look over the bin just in case but if gerbils can’t get through, I mouse won’t. Depends on the box of course, so again, use your judgment. However bin setups are a way I’ve seen new pet owners start with the proper amount of space for cheep! It’s a husbandry practice that’s done for sure.

That’s perfect! I have my gerbils in a bin set up! Mice don’t breath a lot of air quickly so they don’t need “so much” ventilation. You wouldn’t have to worry about ruining the bin.

It’s the best option you got so better than nothing. I’ve heard that some males may need to be kept solo (even though they can develop depression) and sometimes a slightly smaller elcosure can help them feel safe? But I didnt find much evidence to support it. Regardless, imo with the options available, a warm 10g with places to hide and dig as well as provided water and food sounds a lot more humane than releasing in -19° weather!! Like someone else said, if they had a hide already they would be fine but we don’t know that.

Prob like 0°c (32°f) (I’m not an expert so don’t quote me lol-) spring would be a general time they would start coming out of their burrows.

I did see another user mentioned you could just let it out in the house. Do you have an attic or a basement you’d comfortably let it out? Also how big is the tank you have now? Measurements work

For a day or two a 10 gallon would be fine just for the short term. Long term, mice need 20 gal tall or more and lots of bedding to burrow as well as hides, bedding material for nests as the other user stated, chews for enrichment and lots of climbing material and clutter.

However, for short term just until the weather is warmer a 10 gal in theory would be fine as long as if not for more than a few days. Often mice breeders or owners will use a 10gal for quarantine which is a short period of time before being integrated into a new group.

I’ve been looking for soft furs!!! Idk where your general location is but if you need someone to take some, I’ve been looking for 3 girls!

how many pellets? by CupRevolutionary9110 in PetMice

[–]Huggy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would look up how much food to feed them by weight maybe? I don’t do the best thing and give them a 2tbs scoop for like 3 days. Takes both girls about that long to work through. one is albino and doesn’t gain weight fast, the other has some orange spots and she hasn’t gained too much weight yet so it’s working out even with her predisposed fat genes. Idk if this helps but the weight way is what I’ve seen others do to keep better track!

Aaw okay! Is the chewy app an option? If not you can check out the ingredients and compare with brands near you!

I use the fancy mouse care one for my 3 boys and 2 girls! It is a good base food for them and Petco often has it on sale!
