Eni Update!
She's about a month old now! This week she spent 2 nights at my friend's house (the one who found her and brought her to me, actually!) While my family and I were away. I had hoped that they would want to keepheras a pet, but unfortunately they have a very small home and a very rambunctious puppy who would be too dangerous for her.
So she returned to me on friday, and promptly moved into the bigger tank!
I forgot if i made a post about it or not, and i couldn't find one with the search tool, so I'll talk about it anyway.
It's an old fish tank, 80 cm x 35 cm x 40 cm. I made a lid from aluminium fly screen mesh and L-shaped wooden floor trims, and hot glue. it fits realy snugly and still lets in all the air, so it's working out great so far! I'm planning on building an extension to go on top, which will add another 45 cm of height for climbing.
She loves balancing along the sticks and loves the multi - chambered house. I think she's happy, she still comes running whenever i reach in - she loves pets and snuggles. Unfortunately she's a bit too fast/wriggly/ difficult to come out to hang with me on my bed now, lol. Maybe she'll mellow out a bit when she gets older.
I love her so much. She's a good little mouse! I wish I could get her a friend, but i've read that it's not a great idea to introduce pet mice to her, they are not the same species and cannot communicate or reproduce. (I do NOT want baby mice, at all costs).
Well, for now she'll be my pampered pet. If an opportunity arises to get her a buddy I'll give it a try.
