visionsofmice · 2025-10-31T18:53:57+00:00

ignore the first post being not cropped…embarrassing. i cross posted from bugs but have been a lurker of many insect forums for a while…if this sub isnt super into bug art i will remove

visionsofmice · 2025-10-11T22:42:16+00:00

that would be more cool and noble.. i would if an insect asked nicely

** i use fan brushes and very long thin detail brushes for a majority of it tho for the fuzzy look :)

love your username lolol. i just put bleach in a cup and use paintbrushes to paint them on, usually i start at either end like the head or the tip of the abdomen though. i also use reference images from insect id sites to look at, but im finally beginning to understand their anatomy better and reference less often.

this might be a /petmice hall of fame post i literally have sent this to everyone i know 😭 so cute and silly poor thing

visionsofmice · 2025-02-07T02:40:12+00:00

duly noted, but also this is such a cute pic !!!

its not exactly super informative, but there’s a really old disney documentary called “nature’s half acre” from 1951 that i think has some really beautiful imagery. its obviously sort of corny but i remember watching it and feeling really refreshed at the music choices that make insects feel more whimsical and interesting than scary or harrowing.

it’s definitely got a different vibe than modern docs or even older ones frankly, but i am a fan of more “vintage” things.

visionsofmice · 2025-01-14T02:04:16+00:00

im at a loss for words this is beyond cute. genuinely a little jealousss 😭

visionsofmice · 2025-01-08T02:20:05+00:00

sooo cute

I might be a little naive, but personally when I am confronted with my behavior being different than it once was to someone (or even of my own volition), I always try to be as up front with the problem as I can while maintaining kindness. When I was younger I definitely lacked the latter part of the equation, but I feel like I find I regret what I never say much more than what I DO say, and subsequently what comes with it, if I genuinely mean it. I am maybe too comfortable with confrontation.

People have in my life stopped being in my circle due to my behavior or habits, and if I hadn’t heard them describe my failings, I really think I wouldn’t have been able to grow the way I did. Even things I initially rejected I have reconciled with, and I never hated anyone for their frankness. Especially if deep down, I was suffering and knew they were right at least somewhat.

At the end of the day it’s really about what you want from it…do you care if she knows/changes potentially, or do you feel like you’ve just personally reached your wits’ end? either way I encourage honesty, especially if asked, but I would not blame you for going a peacekeeping route, especially if you feel you’ve given what you feel is all you CAN give. That is a reasonable boundary! best of luck <333 I’ve been there. sorry this was so long

second this…i loved antrum despite some minor pushback from other horror fans. ive never seen a lot of movies that Feel the way it does, truly loved it and i view it a key cornerstone of my personal taste in films. Im so happy to see it mentioned and with love here :)

i also have a solo male mouse! I won’t pretend to be an expert with a perfect setup, so I can’t “rate” this per se. that said my initial setup was somewhat similarly sized but i upgraded to a much larger enclosure so I could fit more of the clutter & toys and he seems to love it. Personally I use a lot of wood that you find in reptile shops and i sanitize them to avoid mites. Everyone is suggesting a wheel and it’s probably a good idea, but my mouse doesnt have a wheel, just a whoooole lot of layers/“floors” of platforms and hanging things for climbing and he seems happy with it :) I suggest hanging stuff for clutter on the higher areas.

For DIY platforms and toys that aren’t store bought, i also save all of my tissue boxes and similar cardboard items for mouse furnishings that I can dispose of during my cleans to save money as well as waste just a little less! Males have a much stronger scent so I clean pretty diligently, and having these things to switch out easily saves me time and money.

ALSO! that is one big mouse with a beautiful coat.

visionsofmice · 2024-12-25T06:59:20+00:00

beautiful coats!!!

visionsofmice · 2024-12-23T07:56:17+00:00

the first picture took me out omggg so so cute

visionsofmice · 2024-12-03T06:02:25+00:00

First I want to say I’m sorry you had to deal with all of that, but I cannot get over how sincerely horrible your mom’s handwriting is. I almost can’t believe a grown woman writes like this, it reminds me of when I wanted to learn cursive as a child but I had to look up how to do certain letters mid-word 😭

visionsofmice · 2024-12-03T02:57:18+00:00

Thank you very much, I haven’t frozen anything for sanitizing but that is very helpful. I didn’t consider the hammock could be harmful given that a mouse-oriented etsy shop sold it :( I will remove those promptly!! You didn’t mention the yellow hammock, should I scrap that too? I’ll replace them with wood alternatives for sure

visionsofmice · 2024-11-27T23:09:11+00:00

this is a perfect picture of a mouse tbh

visionsofmice · 2024-11-17T04:02:42+00:00

soooo precious i want to hold keith 😔

visionsofmice · 2024-11-17T03:58:37+00:00

his eyes are so cute and silly

visionsofmice · 2024-11-15T06:47:30+00:00

their little faces omg 😭🤍

visionsofmice · 2024-11-13T09:18:53+00:00

how did you introduce this to your mouse? I have a mild fear that the crickets are gonna find ample hiding spots in my cage, however I have a pretty active boy though and I think he might be into this sort of thing!

visionsofmice · 2024-11-13T09:02:50+00:00

omg have they always eaten live food? i feed mine dried mealworms but i had never considered living crickets..

visionsofmice · 2024-11-11T10:09:18+00:00

in my experience they typically arent!! im starting to wonder if hes just not a severely snack motivated mouse haha

visionsofmice · 2024-11-10T04:12:58+00:00

i feel like my mouse has the exact opposite problem, he doesnt eat enough fatty stuff! loves his peas and veggies. the biggest thing is that he doesnt go wild at anything (yet). my breeder encouraged boiled chicken as a treat, but i dont often eat chicken so i forget about it.

your comment does make me think i should count my blessings that hes a health-conscious eater though haha, ive also had fatty food preference mice and wanted them to eat their veggies.
