Mad Mouse Man

03/10/2023

Hi guys, as some of you may already know I decided to stop breeding mice as the passion hasnt been there for a long while and I haven’t been able to put as much love and energy into my mice like I used to for quite some time now, its the more kind option for both them and myself to bring things to a close.

I am planning on going to uni next year so I’m clearing out my mice things for space for my art hence why I’m making this post for any of you who might be interested in some micey things!

Ill list prices with the photos, I got tanks, wheels, bottles, hides and food.
If you’re interested at all please TEXT me on 0475 918 438 as I don’t receive messages on here well

I also have tub cages available that I can send photos to those interested

Summary: Future of my business, about my views, who I allow to adopt my mice
Great appreciation if you took the time to read, especially if you are considering adopting from me for the first time!

Hi all!

I am now starting to knuckle down when it comes to who I sell my mice to. Mice are one of the most neglected pet species out there simply for the fact that people get them without doing any research very similarly to fish, small reptiles and other small rodents, beta fish sadly have the worst cases I have EVER seen.
Soon I will begin making educational posts on mouse care when it comes to cages, toys, diet, overall everything! I will use these posts to also educate new mouse owners who are wanting to adopt from me!

I am very passionate about my mice and even if it only helps the pet world a smidge, I want my business to be known for its ethics, temperaments and education, especially since I am going to be expanding greatly with ethical products, toys, food, cages etc when I move out and have an official mousery.

I will be expecting those who wish to adopt from me to have all the appropriate gear or get the appropriate gear after speaking with me. If you are wanting to adopt from me, never be nervous to contact me to ask questions! I strive to educate on mouse keeping as it is something very dear to me and I’d love for it to develop into a freelance full time career one day if ever possible.

I will most definitely refuse to sell to those who don’t have the suitable equipment required. I get contacted on a near daily basis about mouse care and adoption enquiries. I am a very patient person but I do hope everyone is understanding of how tiring it is dealing with people who refuse to learn or have an attitude to “ just use what they have”.

Animals aren’t able to express what they need and want, they are also incapable of consent. Therefore it is my job as a pet breeder to speak for them and consent to where they are homed and I take this very seriously! Not all breeders care about this but I personally believe it is essential otherwise you simply shouldn’t have the power to breed.

I hope you all understand and hopefully now have a better view of myself and my opinions as a mouse breeder. I also hope that this post will aid in your choice of adopting from me or elsewhere as you now know where my personal priorities stand and my point of view on things!

Do know that as of the date of this post, I have only been learning about mouse keeping for 4 years and breeding for 2, just like everyone else I am still learning new things every day!
My views on breeding mice are not based on personal opinions but on hours and hours of education and speaking to many, many other ethical breeders from multiple different countries around the globe with years of first hand experience.

Hi guys! So my little shop got too confusing to manage and it seemed like it was the same on the customer’s perspective so now I am just going to advertise my available hammocks in bulk posts.

I will write the prices and if they are SOLD or not, the photos show the hammocks in their ascending prices and sizes!

HOME FOUND

Hi guys,
This little girl has been back and forth different homes a couple of times now 😞 not due to any temperamental issues or illnesses! Just a sad coincidence.
She is desperately needing a forever home either with someone who already has mice or can be adopted with younger ones.

I also currently have ALOT of young girls available, please message me if you or someone you know is looking for mice 🙂

HOME FOUND 🏡
Hi guys,
I have two 4-5 month old female mice who were recently surrendered to me. Looking to find some new homes for them! They are related to my line.
They are very nervous due to a lack of recent handling and will need a patient calm owner, preferably an adult. They must go together as they are already bonded, and being seperated will cause way more anxiety than they already have ❤️

I am offering them discounted and with a bag of food half off as I am really needing homes for them, also because of their age and nervous nature.

ADOPTED
Current babies looking for homes, poor black tans and pieds, also have some older girls I am looking to adopt out soon! DM for any questions :)

Hey guys! Just wanted to put it out there that I am now selling high quality mouse feed that I give my own mice.
The brand I buy only sell in bulk and the amount is way too much for the average mouse owner which is why I decided to sell.

Not saying that it entirely prevents however ever since I switched to this feed I haven't had a single tumor appear on my mice, beforehand most of them developed tumors before they hit 1 years old.

500g for $6
1kg for $10
Will definetly offer bundles to those wanting to buy mice, food and hammocks :)

ADOPTED
Lots of girls available, plenty more available just posting the friendliest for now! Contact me if interested :)

I've recently gotten into sewing and have started to make hammocks for my mice and have been considering selling some.

I've made sure to purchase fabrics that are safe for mice and other rodents and I have a variety of colours and types and will definetly get more.
Prices would vary on size and quality, ill most likely always have stuff ups Ill sell cheaper :') roughly $5-$15 each

If you're interested DM me! Final products will all have 4 eyelets in each corner. Eventually I'm going to add rings to the hammocks and try out different styles. Depending on how things go I'll also open up a store on this page :)

Content: Male needing home, rescue
Edit: FOUND A HOME

Hey guys! I will have some babies ready soon so if you're interested message me asap before they all get adopted out :)

Shown in the photo below is a male named Butterscotch. He is 8 months old and I am currently looking to rehome him as he has failed to impregnate girls and due to his temperament I do not want it carrying on in my line anyway.
Keep in mind if you are interested he is very territorial and bitey, this would be more so a rescue than an adoption.

Although he has failed with getting girls pregnant I would not suggest putting him girls anyway as he still could be fertile.
I will not give him to anyone who wants to put him with girls unless they get him desexed first and follow all the rules given to by the vet.

He will 10000% not be going to a breeder considering his temperament. I will not allow someone to breed and sell mice with biting problems. His issues are definetly due to genetics which I have been working on his family line ever since I began breeding.

I also will not be giving him to someone who has kids, he specifically would need an adult owner to take him in. With his biting problem I wouldn't trust him with a child.

People who want to house him with their own male too will not be an option also. Males shouldn't ever be together regardless but with Butterscotch he will certainly try to kill any male he is with.

Also to note he has only ever bitten me whilst my hand is in the cage, he usually calms down once he realizes its me but it's a very aggressive bite. Whenever he is outside the cage he is completely fine. He simply has alot of testosterone and is very territorial. This is typical in males however male pet mice shouldn't have this much of a territorial problem.

He is a very grumpy little man and he is older so it will be difficult to find him a home. However I would rather try my hardest to home him rather than putting him down. So if you are interested please let me know, just keep in mind the baggage this little crabby carries.
Im sure with alot of one on one time his problems may improve.

Been working on some mouse houses, anyone else made diy mouse toys like this? Would love to see some pics for inspiration!

Hi everyone! Just some photos and some updates!

Currently looking for homes for the two baby boys in the first photo! If you're interested please message me, I am needing to find homes for them before September 24th!
They will be old enough to leave their mother on the 21st. Very tight dates sadly which is why I am searching for homes now :)

I am getting a surgery on the 24th and will be out of action for about a month, most of October. Not entirely sure when I'll be ready to have people over after then but I will still be breeding. If you're currently on the waitlist you will still be contacted just keep in mind it may be awhile as I need to recover :)

Not doing reserves! Everything depends on where you are on the waitlist !!
I'm so proud of my recent litters. My brindle project is looking amazing and so many agouti babies came out of this one male which I really didn't expect!

How to make plastic tubs cages! I'm putting the instructions under each photo. I got these tubs from Mitre 10 for 12.99 each including the lids. You can use any plastic tub as long as the side and roof are flat. If bumpy the mice will be able to chew through the mesh and escape.

You will need: a plastic tub, soldering iron/pliers and scissors, fly screen mesh, small animal wire, hot glue + gun/zip ties
