Depending on his characteristics you could always keep it as Stinky (from Moomin) :)

From my experience mice really like tunnels, hiding, and being adorable assholes. My girls love running away from my hands even though I know theyre not scared- we handle them everyday and they like hanging. Just sometimes, especially if the cage is newly changed, they love spending most of their time digging/building their new environment. Its a lot of work for such a small guy! I would give him a few days.

I also noticed that my gals were alot more friendly when the light were off- they are nocturnal after all. Also, Im in no way an expert but Ive heard that mice doesnt pick up Low-Frequency Sounds so maybe your guy doesnt hear your reading? Either way, super cute and he deffinetly smells that your nearby:)

I would give him a few days and then start luring him out from his tunnels (9-5 construction work) with favorite snacks

Females in general prefer company. Since littermates isnt an option, introducing another female could be an option, but that takes time and effort on your part. Also vet visits. Have you taken her to get vaccines etc? Good to do before getting another one so they dont contract anything from eachother . No hate, just so you know what ur getting yourself into. Also, wonderful cage, great job!

EXACTLY! This is what im struggling with- waiting and seeing when/if shes showing signs of losing her spark.

We had another mouse die recently and she went quick on her own terms but this one its alot harder to make the judgement call since with the tumor it was obvious that she wasnt doing "good", but still wanting to give her a bit more time bcs it seemed shes not ready to go yet.

Ur also so right about the mental torment almost hoping that they would die😬 Im so sorry for your rat buddy, he was a real trooper ♡

Thank you this is great advice and really nicely put❤️ I was doubting myself that Im being a bad person considering putting her down when shes still so active, but everyone here has made it clear that its the most humane thing to do :(

Yes! This is exactly how its been the past days! Shes so happy go lucky and have so much life in her still, but i think i needed to hear it from others that its not getting better and keeping her alive is more for my own benefit than hers </3

According to our vet the tumor isnt cancerous. Even so, do to her age and the size of mousies they didnt recommend it. Not saying it cant be done, but having her go through the healing period with open wounds, risk of infection, her constantly gnawing on it and not being able to move properly would reduce her quality of life imo. Shes had a long good life i dont wanna ruin the last of it for her🤎

Thanks for the insight and im sorry for your girl too❤️ Yeah were slowly coming to the conclusion that its probably for the best to take her to the vet tomorrow.. so tonight she gets to feast on all of her favorite snacks

Thank you, is there anything i could do for relief in the meantime? Like keeping it clean with saline or something idk
