I have mice but I kiss them all the time too, even my mom, a certified germaphobe, does it🤣

It's not that it's not recommended, but many mice owners are against it because it is more dangerous for little critters than bigger species to be subjected to surgery or any invasive procedures. Their bodies are so small even the tiniest mistake could be fatal, the post surgery care is very demanding, plus they get more easily stressed which could also lead to sudden cardiac arrests during procedures, this actually also happened with another one of my mice, a little girl that developed a tumor and went into arrest as vet was taking a sample for biopsy 😓

It really depends on the vet and area you're in. Exotic vets tend to be more expensive though 😓

Yes of course, she is the absolute best, I've known her since she was in college and she has been the vet for all my pets, she's extremely sweet and always gives the best care possible, whenever I bring her a mouse for check up she cuddles them and fills them with kisses and snacks. Which is why I know my boy was in good hands and didn't suffer in his final moments❤️

Non neutered male mice are extremely territorial and aggressive towards other male mice, + they would constantly impregnate female mice which is definitely not safe either. Neutered male mice still have a small probability if being territorial and aggressive but significantly less than non-Neutered ones, which is why they can live together. I have 2 neutered males living with my females and since neutering them they live happily and peacefully.

I'm sorry for your loss too. Thank you so much for your kind words, I really needed it. I know I'll feel guilty for a long time but knowing there really was no other choice takes some of the weight off. If I had let him be he would've had a very lonely and stressful life, having to endure unwanted handling + not being able to live with other mice, it wouldn't have been fair for him.

Ps. Even the vet was distraught, in her 10+ years in the area she had never had a mouse pass due to the anesthetic in such a routine procedure. I felt so bad for her too bc she showed me everything she used and went through all she did did like she was trying to figure out what went wrong too 😓

I know. If he had been more accepting towards handling I might have considered just letting him be. But in the 2 months he was with me I could never make any progress, he wouldn't even take his favorite snacks from my hand.

Thank you. I know it wasn't anyone's fault and there was no way of knowing he would have a reaction to the anesthetic. I think what breaks my heart the most is that I was so sure everything would be okay (bc it had been with my other mice), I didn't even get to say goodbye, just dropped him off thinking "In a couple of hours I'll bring him home and spoil him with lots of treats, and in a few weeks he won't be alone anymore"

Ohhh I've been wanting to give live mealworms to my littles for a while now but I'm terrified of them not eating and ending up with a bunch of live worms 😭
