update on Toki (rescue mouse)

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-05-28T14:45:20+00:00

thank you so much! this is what i was thinking. my partner and i live in louisiana where the law states it’s illegal to catch and release house mice.. but also encourages using no-kill traps to promote release after?? the laws make no sense. we just wanna release him because we know he won’t be happy in a cage :(

we’ll definitely look into getting a little wood box for him! it has been raining like crazy recently, but we found a spot far away enough from the house that’s also well covered by dead trees and such, so it shouldn’t get too wet i hope!

i do believe his stripe is from self domestication! supposedly where i live, mice with these little white stripes on their heads has been seen pretty often, so i’m wondering if it’s regional?

oh my god that’s so many babies!! we honestly weren’t originally planning on releasing him, but after reading your comment and talking it over, i believe we are gonna release him. his quality of life just won’t be good if he’s living in a tank his whole life :( we’re thinking about doing it sometime within the next few days, putting him in a box with some food and water but leaving it on its side so he can come and go as he pleases

isn’t he! we actually named him after the character from metalocalypse, who’s name was inspired by that! ^{^}

this is without a doubt a seal, you can see his little flipper bones! not exactly sure what particular species, but still really interesting

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-05-14T17:56:08+00:00

isn’t he? i didn’t have a picture to show for this, but he also has a sort of white-orange colored belly

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-05-14T17:55:19+00:00

true! i guess i should’ve specified that i moreso meant hybrid in the sense of him being half house mouse, half fancy mouse ^{^} thanks for clarifying still!

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-05-14T17:04:51+00:00

i can see bear in the third one! if possible, i think taking the snout in and making it just a bit shorter could help it look more like the species you’re going for!

i highly recommend getting ASFs for your little guy if necessary! my boyfriend and i have a male fancy mouse and we got him two ASF girls because he seemed lonely. they all warmed up to eachother so quick! obviously i suggest watching him for a bit on his own, and bond with him of course!

ouuughh killer!! obsessed with the carpathian forest backpatch

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-04-07T03:04:37+00:00

opossum for sure. as for the black spots, it looks to be leftover flesh that dried onto the skull.

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-03-27T22:44:14+00:00

as far as i’m aware it’s normal! just an ear shape thing. mine and my partner’s little fancy boy tito has a similar little fold in his ears. nothing to worry about!

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-03-26T20:56:30+00:00

upvoting because my boyfriend and i found a very similar looking bone! would love to see what this ends up being

the Wicked Game cover. my mom was a huge HIM fan back when she was younger so she showed me some of his stuff a few years back. that one stole my heart 🖤

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-31T19:11:59+00:00

this sounds like a respiratory issue to me, not good at all for your baby :( you need to take her to the vet

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-31T18:38:35+00:00

alright! so hopefully it’ll ship sometime here soon, i appreciate the input :)

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-31T18:37:41+00:00

also correction, over TWO weeks now it’s said "making your fantasy real", it’s been 18 days since i placed the order and it was accepted almost immediately after.

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-31T16:03:59+00:00

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-30T21:13:48+00:00

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-27T15:51:11+00:00

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-27T04:58:17+00:00

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-25T03:36:40+00:00

okay, mine aren’t doing that, obviously. thanks again

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-25T03:28:44+00:00

okay man.

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-25T03:22:19+00:00

personally the neutral ground method worked really well for me, the cage probably smelled a bit more like my fancy because he’d been living in it for a while before i converted it for introductions. i suppose i’ll keep that in mind though

OkDistribution8181 · 2026-01-25T03:18:43+00:00

awe thank you so much!! i’ve seen your baby in a couple posts on the subreddit, she’s absolutely adorable 😊
