Update post for you all!

I want to apologize for my slow communication recently, as well as thank y'all for your patience as I slooowly get back into the flow of things.
January has turned out to be a chaotic month for me outside of the mousery, with lots of events and other projects stealing my attention.

❤️ My mouse projects are still doing great and I've got a few litters I'm excited for, though I am a bit behind on pairings. Along with the slower flow of litters, posting about them and communicating/social media have fallen by the wayside in the midst of the chaos. Believe it or not, the social media side of my mousery almost takes up MORE time than the actual mouse part😅.

But anyways, it'll probably take me another week or two to finish up all my other projects and catch up on the mouse world. My website needs some updates, I've gotta fix up my records with all the new litter info, gotta go through new adoption applications, etc.

The flow of adoptable mice will also likely slow here for a bit as the next generations of mice grow up. I'm pairing more mice now, but my slowdown will have an impact on availability for the next month or two.

I appreciate your patience in the meantime. We'll get there!

-------------
❤️ And as a fun little mousery update, we have the first litters out of the Agouti show lines!! As a refresher on what their purpose is, the main goal with these guys is to establish a nice xblack/agouti show line with a focus on rich, dark pigment.
Working with new lines is always a challenge, but I'm seeing some promising traits so far and I'm VERY excited to see how these pups grow.

Thank you all for following along! -BH

We've got another show cross litter coming through!

These are the first official litter where I'm crossing two show line outcross mice together in hopes of improving type again after all the pet outcrosses.

The momma is one of my best show crosses in regards to health, and the male is one of my typiest crosses. So far momma has pretty dang fantastic milk production, which was a major goal. I can see some very subtle kinks in one female's tail tho, so I've most definitely still got some bad recessives to w**d out.

Crossing the mice back together will help me do just that! I've just gotta cement those new health/ temperament genes into the line, as well as bring all those good typey genes out again using the power of selective line breeding✨️. It'll be a very delicate balancing act, but it's already made some amazing improvements to the line. I'm excited to see how these little ones do!

Happy new year from us at Brookie Cookie Creatures!

2024 has been the year of establishing projects. I have started every single line that isn't my chaos line, built tons of new cages and racks, readjusted goals and made wonderful new connections.

I'm gonna be very happy to have less change and chaos in the mousery in 2025 though. Refining and perfecting my mice is gonna be deeply satisfying after all the work I've done so far. Lots of goals and projects should be reaching a more established place in 2025, and I will finally be able to focus on quality as much as I'd like.

Enjoy some more teddy bear line photos! They're an absolutely lovely bunch of beans.

Some recent agouti mice I'm excited for!

I finally have a very nice, solidly established number of texel goots here, with a lot of amazing breeders to keep the Teddy Bear line going. I do still want to work on overall size/health as I get some on occassion that are small and delicate compared to my other lines, but their temperaments are just about where I want them! Their coats/colors are coming along nicely too--just gotta cement that agouti and texel in there so I only get agoutis and texels from them. Currently the line still pops out angoras and selfs.

Thought I'd share some of my favorite mouse moments from the last month!!

12/04/2024

Hi everyone!

I hope your winter season has been good so far, I know it's been exciting for me and the mice! I had 8 litters born a few weeks ago, and 3 more born this week. I can already tell many of the pups are gonna be absolutely fanTASTIC, and I'm starting to gage who my holdbacks and available mice will be for the next round of adoptions. ️ This means that there will be some more available babies starting in January!!

-------------
》If you have filled out an application, I will be looking those over soon in preparation for the pups growing up, and I'll letcha know if it looks good! And for those already on my waitlist/in communication with me, just keep an eye out come January for the text I'll send out (and feel free to reach out too! It can be easier for me to find conversations if I've chatted with you recently❤️).

》If you're interested in mice and haven't filled out an adoption application yet, here's the link!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfI46HZYUShuCphhqlfXHFHVQhhZEl2c3AMoRUYoU-1rZcVuQ/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawG9IkpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSE_oJ2w7stLHc1yLeZ8V2ljNtEppa_tBwMVvIZpQoylv90OKjv-r0mhmw_aem_GWatIz8tC7PCxNzIGl6IZQ

I check over new applications and update my waitlist every few weeks, before the next group of mice will be available. This means I might not see your application right away, but I will get back to you before the next round of adoptions starts! Most things in my mousery are done on more of a monthly basis rather than daily, except for mouse care--life do be busy!

Anyways, this December will be free of mouse adoptions here at BCC. I'll be taking the time to chill with all the new babies, and hang out with the family for the holidays. I hope y'all can enjoy these pictures of the current litters in the meantime, and look forward to January with me! Thanks for following along😊

We got our first real snow today here at Brookie Cookie Creatures, and it's got me in a cozy, hot-cocoa-and cuddle-with-meeces sort of mood.

In honor of those wonderful wintry vibes, please enjoy this little photoshoot taken with my chaos babies! Their creamy, toasted marshmallow color was absolutely perfect for these cozy cocoa-themed pictures. And thank you to Wolffe Mousery for the lovely idea!

We've got a Chaos litter!!

I haven't had a Chaos × Chaos litter in a few months, as I've been using my chaos line to help improve a few of the new lines I brought in.
Thankfully most of my outcrosses involving chaos ladies are done, so I've I finally gotten around to the chaos line again! They may be my OG line, but there is still a lot of work to be done on these guys. I specifically want to solidify these traits:

🫘 Coat Texture:
super dense, soft coats. Currently most of my chaos line either is angora or at least carries it, but ideally most would be angora. They Don't have to be really long coats, as this line isn't one I plan to breed to show standards. They just gotta be DENSE and SOFT. Dense, fluffy coats are my personal favorite expression of angora, and the two founding bucks for this line had some of the most lovely coats ever. One of my current chaos line males and 2 females share this coat, but the rest aren't quite where it's at yet.

❤️ Cuddly, Curious Personalities:
I have gotten to the point where most bucks and maybe a third of the ladies from this line actively enjoy cuddles to some extent. Ideally this trait would be consistent across the line, as my main goal with them is "amazing pets". Now this cuddly goal isn't quite as easy as just selecting for cuddles, because I actually ALSO actively select for confidence, intelligence and curiosity with them. Those two sets of traits don't always line up, so it's a bit of a balancing act between them being too independent and active, or too mellow and lazy.

🫘 Dark Extremeties and warmer shades:
currently I get a large range of phenotypes with this line, some I'm finding I prefer over others. I've found I prefer the warmer, creamier colored pups in this line, so I'll be aiming for them over the cooler pups. I might still let a feeew cooler pups slide, just cuz the cooler tones are most often caused by blue, and I *do* like straw on my undiluted rys when I get them. Oh the conflict!

Anyways, I also love the contrast added by darker extremeties(caused by being het or homozygous xblack and maybe by siamese, too), so I plan to start selecting for darker black pigment and more soot/ splash markings on these guys.

Anyways, these babies are looking great so far, along with a couple other chaos litters I have brewing. These litters have reminded me why these guys are my favorites-- They're just so CUTE, and so interesting! I feel I've gotten their colors mostly solved by now, but they do tend to surprise me, so I can't say I have their chaos controlled quite yet

(and I doubt I truly will any time soon😅)

11/22/2024

I just got some AMAZING new mice from Lucent Fuzzery in florida, and I am SO EXCITED!!! Satin agoutis (and agoutis in general) are one of my all-time favorite mouse varieties, and she has done an amazing job on these ladies-- they've got beautiful rich pigment, and solid type too. Thanks again for trusting me with your little ones!!

And a special thanks to Mel's Neighborhood Rodents for getting them all the way to Utah for me! You did an amazing job, Mel, and it was wonderful to meet you❤️. I will 100% be using your services again the next time I need to refresh my lines, or send little ones out!

And now everyone, please enjoy these lovely photos I got of them during their checkover; These'll likely be the only photos I get of them for a while, since they're in need of some peace and quiet to settle in--They just got done with a looong adventure

11/20/2024

Some cute mouse photos of recent ladies! Some of these gals are off to new homes, and one or two are holdbacks😊

show line update!

I've been outcrossing my new show lines for 2 generations now, to increase genetic diversity and help improve overall health and temperament. I've still had a few does struggle with raising pups more than I'd like, and a few excessively sassy bucks, but I've also had a solid group of successful mommas and sweet bucks to choose from!

The biggest sacrifice has been that wonderful show type, which was to be expected. The outcrosses aren't quite as big, have smaller, wrinklier ears, and some pretty goofy faces😆.

Thankfully now that I've got a solid group of outcrosses to work with, I'm ready to start crossing back in to w**d out the lingering undesirable recessives the show lines might carry, as well as to pull back out those awesome typey genes. I've just got 3 more outcross litters growing up now to pick my holdbacks from, and then most of my show pairings will be show cross × show cross, rather than show cross × pet type. I'm hoping that by this time next year, I'll have some super sweet, robust, semi-decent show type mice from this project!

In the meantime, please enjoy some of the little ones that have come out of this project:

11/11/2024

Another agouti texel litter is growing up at the moment, and I am VERY excited for them! These 2 pups below are definitely holdbacks.

They've got confident, social temperaments and very nice coats that are finally approaching the desity I'm looking for in these guys. Still got some work to do, but they're great examples of what I want the Teddy Bear Line to look like as time goes on!

11/09/2024

I wanted to share a lil' commemoration post for this sweet boy, who passed this last week at 2 years and 2 months old. I got to give him some peanut butter and cuddles on his last day, which was a wonderful time.

He was the last male from my OG chaos line, and was a huge help in reviving my mousery after I nearly stopped breeding last year. He was a cuddle bug, with a lovely dense coat, sweet face, and a love for sunflower seeds.

I'm grateful I got to enjoy his lovely lil' presence for as long as I did, and I'm very excited I get to keep working with his grandkids, great-grandkids, and great-great grandkids😆. Here's to more chaos babies in the future!

11/03/2024

I recently made this drawing showcasing a few of my all-time favorite phenotypes, some of which are goal lines I'll be working towards.

I've already got my chaos line of course, and I've got a solid start on my blue splash and agouti texel line as well! I've just BARELY started my hairless line, but if all goes well I should be able to get some good xblack hairless here in a year or so.

Idk if I'll specifically aim for blue merles or reverse siamese lines, but I definitely wouldn't mind if they popped up every now and then.

Speaking of my goal lines, I've been thinking-- My chaos line has a fun name, and I've been brainstorming some names for my other lines now that I have them started.

For the texel agoutis, I was thinking that "The Teddy Bear Line" would be an ADORABLE name, and encompasses the goals I have for them.

For the d. Hairless xblacks, I was thinking that "naked ninjas" was a fun one. Not sold on it yet tho.

Still unsure for my blue dilute show line... maybe blue belles? Something to do with paintings, since they've got splash mixed in... maybe painted ladies(and lads)? Idk. I'll hafta think on that one some more🤔.

Anyways, thought I'd share some of the fun behind-the-scenes ideas and goals. I am SO excited to see where my current lines go!

11/01/2024

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Remember to give your little creatures some treats, too!

10/28/2024

Got some pictures of recent cuties!

First few are of a boy that went off to a new home recently, as well as some sweet texels from my most recent texel litters. I've also recently had my only dominant hairless doe give birth, so we've got some hairless pups!

Also, anyone who's interested can take a look at the remaining available females! Most of the remaining people on my waitlist are waiting until november/December for babies, so I've got a few still looking for homes, as well as a few new ones i added this week(havent taken videos of em yet, but can take them on request). Feel free to message me with interest😊

This cuddly blue angel MELTED my heart

The cute angora litter

*update* -------- they've all found homes! thank you everyone :) ---------- Hi guys, I have some boys available! Watch the video below and check the comments for photos😊. I have 3 young boys from a recent litter, and two that are between 6-8 weeks now. They've all been great to hang out with, and I'd love to send them out to new pet homes. Here is a numbered list of all the boys I've got! Watch the video and check for photos in the comments to get a better look at them. ----- ♡Young litter: 1. Blue pied angora(broken mask) 2. Blue pied angora(full mask) 3.❌️SOLD❌️ Blue self angora ♡Older boys: 4. Chaos ry splash siamese poor angora 5.❌SOLD❌️ Blue pied angora Please feel free to message me with interest, questions, and to work out any details! ------------ And remember: boys are snuggly little dudes, but they need to live alone unless you're a breeder to stay safe!

These babies will be ready for their new homes very soon! They're gonna be leaving the nursery tomorrow, and are now a bit over 4 weeks. I have a couple people waiting first who all the ladies will likely go to, so sadly I wont be posting these babies for adoption here. but more babies are soon to follow, so keep an eye out!

Hi guys! Please welcome my adorable new mice from Firethorne Ridge Rodentry !! It's been over a year since I brought new mice into my colony, so I'm very excited for all the possibilities. After a couple weeks of quarantine, I'll be slowly mixing em into my mousery and working on new projects. I've now got agouti back, as well as tan, texel, and blue! Here's a brief video introducing all the newcomers!

I have some females available!! *update-->these girls are no longer available : ●albino angora ●blue rex agouti ●retired blue lady ●hairless I prefer to sell them in groups of 3 minimum, but if you already have a group of gals, you can get as few as 2 gals to add to your group. These gals are sweet, spunky, curiouse, and ready for a new home. Some are retired ladies(5-6 months old, they've still got spunk!) and some are young gals. Feel free to text me for availability and prices!

A little insight into my pairings and the thought behind them! Recently, coat and color have been on the backburner, with health and temperament being my biggest priorities. This pairing is the perfect example because coat-wise, this is the LAST pairing you'd do!😅 Their babies should be interesting, at least.

Hey guys! Though I'd show some babies that may be for sale soon! The video's rough, but they're ADORABLE! it isn't for certain yet since I still need to watch them until week 5 at least, but if all goes well, then the two black texels and black pied angora will be for sale! I've got one more litter with agoutis that miiight have a girl or two for sale as well. I'll keep y'all posted!

Hey guys!! It's been a while, but I'm happy to say that my lines are finally reaching a point where I feel comfortable with sl0wly starting to sell again! I'm still not phenotypically(appearance-wise) where I want my lines to be, but their temperaments and general wellbeing have gotten to what I deem pet-quality for the majority of mice being born. It's still slow going and I don't yet have any to sell, but when I do (hopefully soon!) I'll post here and on KSL. I won't be putting too much effort into keeping in contact beyond writing down names(my life's crazy😅), so please message me with questions or when you see a mouse you like. In the meantime, here's a litter of agoutis born recently! Two satins, one normal agouti, and a cinnamon. I used to like agouti the least, but there's a special charm to them(and satin agouti is, in my opinion, one of the best satin varieties). They've become a favorite in my mousery.

Thought I'd give a little update on the dominant hairless project! These guys have a pretty large amount of fur for dominant hairless, but selective breeding is my friend. Hopefully with steady work I can get some solid hairless mice coming along! For now, one of these boys has found a new home, and I'll keep the other for just a bit, so that I cab get a few more hairless litters going. Though honestly... I kinda like them with this layer of fluff. They won't stay this wavy-furred and fluffy forever(the coat thins just a bit) but I don't mind it while it's here.
