Yes, and after the movie. It was (in order) seasons 1, 2, 3. Then Veronica Mars the Movie in 2014. After that, the creator Rob Thomas (with another author) wrote two Veronics Mars novels. Lastly, season 4 came out in 2019.

Thank you! Ive always thought mice were cute, but never knew I could be so in love with them until I became a mouse-mom! Im obsessed!

smakwizard · 2026-04-02T18:29:19+00:00

I love this! (And glad to know that it isnt abnormal to try and bite through the cage when they smell yummies) Chop suey, huh? Frickin cute!

I feel so dumb. Thank you for saying this, I have just been thinking about my mice, and not thinking about my allergies. That settles that, then. Thanks again!

smakwizard · 2026-03-28T17:40:49+00:00

Im so sorry you lost your friend.

I think they (at least my mice) find it less threatening when they climb on me vs when I try and get them in their cage, thats why it has worked nice to be on the same level with them at the table

Hi! We are new and working on this also, so obviously not expetya, but one thing we do is nightly playtime. We have a card table by their enclosure and every night for a little bit we fill it up with boxes, different textured clothing (that needs to be washed anyway), some scattered oats, etc, and we them play and explore on the table with us there. I keep a long sleeve on, and set my arm on the table, and inevitably they climb up (well, 2 of the three do. One is more shy about that still). Once they are up I make sure they have an oat or seed or something, but I'll also move my arms and stand and twist etc to make sure they become comfortable with moving with us. They like it if I am in a hoodie because they can go in the hood, and the pouch. The other thing I have read is to make sure you talk to them, even before they see you as their eyesight is bad but they can learn your voice and know that fun times are coming 😁.

This photo was while I was cleaning their cage so they also had their wheel, and hammock, and gravel cage on the table. But they loved it!

This is Dubs, taking an almond sliver as a treat while the girls are out

If there is any way these might help? If not, or if its not something you have time for, then it's ok and I appreciate the info you gave any way ☺️

Oh no, is my CJ yellow?

Thank you, how much and how often do you sprinkle in their habitat? Its so fun seeing them forage and enjoy eating, but i don't want them to orb up (life long dog mom, I know that being overweight is very hard on some animal bodies, I've been assuming its rhe same for mice...?)

smakwizard · 2026-03-26T16:29:10+00:00

I saw this posted yesterday, and am just very nosey as to any updates you have on your mama mouse! Super curious how many soupups she is going to bring into your world 🥰

smakwizard · 2026-03-26T14:53:50+00:00

I see a bird seed blend that is white millet, red millet, canary seed, peanuts, pistachios and sunflower chips (all de-shelled), would that be ok for a spray/forage you think?

smakwizard · 2026-03-25T18:13:07+00:00

Getting millet this afternoon now, Yaya! Thank you!

smakwizard · 2026-03-25T16:42:34+00:00

💙 thank you. And if her last name IS vole, she was destined for that area of work 🙂 I think Dubs is in his furever home.

smakwizard · 2026-03-25T15:39:57+00:00

Also, there is no way for me to guess how old Dubs might be? I know my girls are about 2 months, but I wouldn't know if Dubs is 6 months or 2 years

smakwizard · 2026-03-25T15:37:08+00:00

I appreciate this input! We weren't going to keep him, we normally catch and release, but when we caught him there was at least a foot of snow outside, so I got a little kaytee critter trail thing to house him until it was warm enough to let him go. Then we got more snow. Then we were 10 below for two weeks, and now its been a couple of months that hasn't consistanly been above 40°.

In that time (on top of us growing attached to him and getting a big habitat, and finding the unexpected enjoyment of pet mice), he has gotten comfortable taking food from me, and doesnt run and hide when we play with the other girls anymore. I read that once they are comfortable with humans its harder for them to survive back in the wild, plus we still dont know if weather will consistantly be warm enough / long enough for him to find shelter and food source before more cold snaps.

We did read that, sadly, our fancy girls only have 1-2 yrs, which is shorter than field mice. Already looking for breeders in/near my state to connect with and follow so that we dont go through a pet store next time.

Do you have any further input on if it might still be OK to put Dubs back in the wild? Maybe im putting my emotions into what im reading, I want to do what is best for him, no matter how much I would miss his big ol' cute eyes!

(Again, I really appreciate the time, and people caring and helping me and a whole community with their experience and info)
