PLEASE READ:
A couple friendly reminders from your local mouse breeder :)
Over the last couple years I have experienced an increased level of rude, inconsiderate, and demanding messages from potential adopters.
This behaviour will not tolerated, and will result in you being blacklisted from receiving mice from me.
The mousery is a passion project of mine, I am incredibly passionate about it, but it just a hobby and not my job. I do not make a profit from mouse breeding.
On top of managing the mousery I work three long days a week in an intense and demanding job. I am also currently studying part time at university.
Ethical care, housing, documentation, and enrichment are always my priority when it comes to the mousery, which means around work, uni, and the mousery, my ability to respond to messages in a timely manner may not always be as quick as people would like. I understand this, and am currently trying my best to keep on top of messages, but during busy periods I may take longer to respond.
Spamming my messages with emojis, autoreplies, multiple different accounts, demanding replies at unreasonable hours, demanding mice in an unrealistic time frame, spamming me with several adoption forms, or finding ways around messaging me through this page and contacting me elsewhere is the quickest way to end up not receiving mice, not the other way around.
I reserve the right at any time to deny an adoption for any reason.
I know it can be frustrating not receiving a reply, and rest assured I do receive your messages and am doing my best, you are not missing out on mice if I haven’t got to you.
Going forward, once mice are available and I have gone through the waiting list, I will be posting them on my page. If there are no mice posted on my page, there are no mice available and my autoreply will reflect this and the waiting list will open up for the next lot of litters.
I will also be implementing a $5 reservation fee per mouse. Once you have chosen mice you will have 48 hours to transfer this to keep your mice reserved until you are able to come and collect them. This fee will come off the adoption cost, and i’m hoping will reduce the amount of no-shows, and ensure potential adopters are serious and don’t ruin it for everyone else.
More mice will be posted Friday night, 7pm AEST 🙂 I will chase up all messages by then.
Thank you for reading.
