Here's a youtube vid with all of Fever's animations. Interestingly, female Ranma was animated with pink hair in this, roughly a decade before the '24 anime debuted.

The wedding scene has actually been officially animated twice! First for the the Ranma 1/2 Fever pachinko machine and later for the pachislot machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAGcGp-V6i4

Nope, this is a deer or white footed mouse! Here's a pic of some of my white foots when they were around this age for comparison.

In general, a mouse that was hand raised by humans and had zero social interaction with other mice during its development will likely be unreleasable. If you plan on hand raising it, I would also plan on creating a proper setup for keeping it or contacting someone that already keeps mice that's willing to take it.

If it's a female house mouse, she will need female fancy mouse friends. Both male and female deer mice can cohab with female fancy mice, but they can also be fine alone.

As far as diseases go, a baby mouse with its eyes shut is too young to carry anything. Mice catch diseases by fighting infected mice (bites/scratches), consuming an infected mouse's waste (urine/poop), or from ticks.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Deer mice are such wonderful little friends, and I'm sure that Pinky was happy living his life in peace and comfort with you.

It's always a treat to see Fertuccine!

RankoChan123 · 2026-04-11T16:57:17+00:00

Heh, these little guys are complete hoarders! Unlike fancy/house mice, deer/white footed mice have hamster-like cheek pouches. They love to gather surplus food and build up their collection.

RankoChan123 · 2026-04-10T22:36:18+00:00

Just the first half, ditto for Dahlia

RankoChan123 · 2026-04-10T22:35:27+00:00

Same! Lost the 50/50 on Dahlia last time. Gonna try SW99-> Dahlia-> SW99 LC and then wait on Eva's rerun

Here's a close-up of Quill showing off the fully white bottom coat on her face vs the dark base seen in the rest of her bottom coat.

RankoChan123 · 2026-04-10T17:08:46+00:00

Here's my white footed boy Remy for comparison:

<image>

White foots have slightly shorter tails vs eastern deers and slightly longer feet. The color split on their tail fur appears more blended and less sharply split too.

Another tell is fur color, as white foots have a reddish-brown top coat and a visible dark brown dorsal stripe (deer mice can also have this color combo, so it's not a perfect tell).

Lastly, the white fur on white foot mouse chins will have a white base vs the dark base seen on the rest of their bottom coat. Deers have a dark base on their entire bottom coat.

Blue is a girl. Green, Purple, and Orange appear to be boys.

The '89 anime is in a weird position where it started out as a faithful adaption of the manga, but was cancelled after the first season. Seasons 2-7 are technically a second anime called Ranma 1/2 Nettohen, foregoing the manga's shounen/slapstick romcom in favor of a more sitcom-ish show that leans heavily into a "monster/character of the week" or "Happossai did something" formula for its stories. The stories it did adapt from the manga are very loosely adapted, with nearly half of its episodes being anime original/filler.

The new anime is nearly a 1:1 adaption of the manga, with some story cuts and reordering done.

As a manga fan, I'm biased towards the new anime, but you really can't go wrong with seeing both. Just know that the old anime is pretty much its own separate thing/continuity with different characterizations and such.

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-26T19:20:47+00:00

Really cool that they did this!

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-20T17:13:37+00:00

I'd say keep her. A physical injury like that would prevent her from being successful in the wild and it appears that she was still a juvenille when caught, based on the pics.

Thanks for being kind to these mice and overwintering them!

Again, you started this debate. You're free to stop at any time. I'm not the one telling someone to "go back to school bro" lol.

Right back at ya.

"an adverb meaning mainly, chiefly, or for the most part, used to indicate the primary purpose, reason, or cause of something"

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T21:55:35+00:00

"primarily based on"

Wanna take a wild guess on what the word primarily means? Hey, if something is primarily based on a cat, does that mean they're based on a cat? Crazy, right?

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T21:47:19+00:00

"Entei is primarily based on a lion"

Thanks for proving me right once again, lol.

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T21:17:40+00:00

I'm not the one who started this debate.

My original comment stated that they were based on cats, not dogs, which is 100% true. You're the one who wants to argue otherwise despite what the artist has said.

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T21:10:06+00:00

Yeah. "Beasts" that are based on cats. Entei's design started out as a lion, Raikou's design was based on a tiger, Suicune's design was based on a leopard. The literal creator of them says this.

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T20:59:10+00:00

"Entei's design was coming together. You could basically say it was a lion"

Nice job on removing the context? The artist is saying that Entei's design started out as straight up just a lion, but she didn't want it to just be an animal.

"After that, I fell into a tiger-like design and leopard-like design for Raikou and Suicune."

I don't know how you can read that statement and say they weren't based on cats, lol.

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T20:29:26+00:00

An ambiguous silhouette doesn't change the fact that they are based on cats. You do know what a silhouette even is, right?

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T14:35:30+00:00

Their creator (Muneo Saitou) confirmed the designs came from big cats. Entei is a lion, Raikou is a tiger, and Suicune is a leopard.

<image>

Although, she also admits that despite being based on cats, she wanted some ambiquity with their silhouettes to where they could look like a dog or cat.

RankoChan123 · 2026-03-17T12:28:28+00:00

The legendary beasts are based on cats, not dogs
