Such a beautiful nest!!

My black pied momma had 6 babies just a day ago♥️. Their milk bands are full and they're looking fabulous, kept cozy in this lovely little mansion their momma made for them. One of the many struggles of mouse breeding is checking on babies without destroying the construction work of the momma mouse, hence why for the first week I am usually sparing in my check-ins--I want momma to enjoy her Hard work without my pestering! After about a week though, moms are usually very happy for the break.

I wasn't gonna keep this guy as a breeder, but then I picked him up last week for cage cleaning, only to have him snuggle contentedly into my hand and accept pets. His little adorable face staring up at me murdered my heart. His lovely temperament, sweet expression and soft cuddly floof have won him a position as a stud buck here in my mousery❤️.

For those curious, he is from my chaos pet line, and is a ry based splash siamese. Potentially an exblack carrier as well. It'll be fun to see what chaos babies he creates😊

Babies!!

They're just a few days old and soo cute! It's a blue angora litter, with a few pieds in the mix❤️. The first litter born here in over a month!

These are from a mouse I didn't breed myself (an f1 generation) so I'm unsure of how they'll age tenperament-wise as of now. Typically I wait a couple generations with new lines just to make sure I know the line well and can select for good temperament, but these guys are from some pretty great parents and a good breeder, so they may do just fine. We'll have to see!!

*EDIT*
He found his new home!!
Hey guys, I've got a male mouse available!

He's a reccessive yellow splash angora, about 4 months old and sweet. He's a spritely little dude with loads of energy, and loves to run around and explore(and eat sunflower seeds😆). He'd make a great pet or breeder buck. Please message me to request him, or to ask any questions!

Sadly no females available yet, but this boy and my siamese finally did their job and I'm expecting a couple litters in the next week or so! Hopefully I get a good amount of ladies and not all boys like last time.

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!

12/23/2023

I'm still working on this project, but it's done enough to be of some use! Here is the link, If any of y'all want to check out this little simple website I've been working on. It's got my mouse availability, some cool mouse resources I like, and other fun stuff.

I'm a small-scale mouse breeder located in Utah Valley. I began breeding mice as a way to provide humane feeders for my animals, and in the process I grew to adore mice as a species, and as pets. Now my goal is to breed lovely pet mice for the people of Utah Valley, and to leave a positive mark on

12/23/2023

For anyone wanting updates on breeding, here is a video of my current pairings! Hopefully these two lovely couples have some cute little babies I can share with y'all . They're fluffing ADORABLE

Hi guys! It's the weekend before Christmas, and it seems like these mice have decided to take the holidays off from work. I've been waiting for over 3 weeks ...

12/23/2023

Hope y'all don't mind the profile changes! I thought I'd try these new photos out, since they better reflect the mice I currently have, and it's been a while since I refreshed things.

I'm actually considering designing some page art for my banner, though I'm still unsure. Anyone who's gotten mice from me before will know that I do love to doodle mice though😊. I like to give everyone personalized mouse pictures with their new pets when I can.

For now I'll probably just keep doodling these little cuties and contemplating the possibilities.

12/23/2023

Good news y'all!

Treatment worked great, everybody's looking lovely, and as soon as I actually start building up a stock of mice, I'll be ready to start providing y'all with sweet little companions again!!

The ladies are happy to have a variety of things in their cage after a month of boring, and today I walked in on them snuggled in this hide against the glass. I LOVE it when my mice do this. A sleeping pile of sweet, cozy babies... I can't help but melt♥️.

I'll be posting available mice here as the months go on. I've had a couple pairings with each other for a bit, but they're taking their time with this cold weather. Here's to hoping I have a couple litters born in the next few weeks!

11/04/2023

Does this cage look to sparse to you? Yes? Well SAME!

Sadly, I've currently got my girls in a super boring, really sad cage for a bit so I can do some health monitoring and a preparatory mite/health treatment to make sure all's good before I add more mice! Having a simple setup like this makes it easy to check on health daily, make sure everyone gets treatment, and makes cleaning fast and easy while I need to do more cage cleans. As compensation they're getting extra oats and cuddles.

I haven't brought new mice into my mousery for over a year, and haven't done any preventative treatments that whole time🫢. Woops. I used to do it twice a year when I got new mice in spring and fall, but I didn't get any new mice this year and it kiinda fell to the bottom of the priority list. That being said, I want to be prepared for these new mice, and even without bringing any new animals in for so long, pests can easily be present from sources like contaminated bedding, food, or wild pests sneaking in. One definite issue I've had is meal moths(I think that's what they're called?) Getting into my feed, and I think ive also seen signs of mites on one or two of my male mice and I've GOT to destroy every single one of those tiny demons before I sell, which takes about 4 weeks of cage cleans and permethrin treatment. I may not see all the issues, but that doesnt mean they aren't there, so EVERYONE is stuck getting sprayed with permethrin whether they seem good to go or not. so I've sprayed down my breeding area and supplies to hopefully eradicate the issues, And as a preventative measure, I've also started adding a bit of food grade dietimaceous earth to my feed, beding, and around the edges of my breeding closet. So far it's working! Still got another week or two of work to do though, I HATE pests😭. Remind me to do my preventative treatments whether or not I'm bringing in new animals-- it's worth it.

Anyways, beyond that tedious behind-the-scenes stuff, I thought I'd let y'all know that I'm hoping to open up and start selling within 2-4 weeks! A few of you have already expressed interest in my soon-to-be-available mice, so sadly I won't have loads to share, but we'll get there! This spring after I've brought in my new lines and gotten them through quarantine, i should start to have a more consistent number of mice available.

Thank you to everyone who's following along on this journey! I'm really dang happy I get to continue providing y'all with cuties, even if it is slow going. We'll get there!

Hi guys!

So, a little unexpected turn of events, things in my life have worked out to the point where I don't have to stop breeding!! I wasn't expecting it, but I'm happy I don't have to give up all my mice--i'd miss them. And not breeding was SAD. I also felt bad, knowing all of y'all would be without a nearby source of good quality cuties to keep your colonies going.

I will say, i'm not going to go back to breeding quite as much as I used to. I want to keep it small, cuz I've found over the last few months that I enjoy having time to spend with every single mouse, and spoiling them. I wasn't able to do that before, with 70 mice and 6 litters going at a time.

With that said, I will likely have an occasional small litter of pups come through, and sell mice here and there again! I want to focus on selling to my repeat customers and other experienced mouse owners though, as educating new owners is kiiinda tough. I love the peace of mind that comes from selling to y'all, and knowing my mice will have good homes. If you've gotten mice from me before or have a good amount of experience with mice and want to keep your colony going, follow along to see if I have any ladies(or dudes) looking for homes!

And enjoy these pictures of a sneaky litter I bred back in September. I couldn't resist😅

09/28/2023

The struggle is real😅

09/27/2023

Hi guys!! Just thought I'd stop by to share some cute photos of the retirement crew. I'm thoroughly enjoying my cuddle time with them.

07/26/2023

Hi everyone!

I wanted to stop in and say my mousery is officially closed. I'm sorry to everyone who was still hoping for mice😔. I've got my current population down to about 12 females and 2 males, who I have decided to keep as pets until they pass away.

Thank you so much to everyone who gave some of my babies good homes!! I'll miss seeing your faces light up when you come to pick up your ladies. I hope some good mouse breeders are able to pick up where I left off and provide you all with good quality pet mice.

I'm making this post for a sister of mine who's struggling to take care of her pet rabbit, Cosmo, to help her find him a new home. I've been picking up the slack for her, but I won't be at home forever to help. We'd like to send him somewhere that is safe, where he can get the food, water and attention he needs. And since I know y'all are awesome and many of you own or have experience with other animals, I think quite a few of you would be capable of giving him a good home.

If you're interested, read on for more details!

Cosmo is a rescue we took off the hands of a neighbor who needed to rehome him fast(so a double rescue😅). He is a black dwarf rex(as far as I know), and is about 2-3 years old, and not neutered/potty trained. He has been mostly outdoor, but we have brought him inside during super hot or cold days. We've fed him orchard grass, parsley, dandelions, Ifa pellets, veggies and the occasional banana as a treat(he LOVES them). He enjoys snuggles, exploring whatever environment he's given, napping, and will at least tolerate having his nails clipped.

He'll be free, including his outdoor hutch if you want to use it. It isnt the jest cage, but it iss ecure and works well enough. We used to have a nice indoor cage but my sister couldn't keep him inside anymore, and we used the cage for other animals.

Here is a picture and a link to a YouTube video of him from a couple months ago. Text me with any questions! Located in Provo, UT.

Hi guys!! Sorry for the long absence, my life has been absolutely craaazy. I wanted to pop in and say I have a some girls I will be posting soon, as well as one(maybe 2) more males. If any of you are interested or want to add another girl or guy to your colonies, this'll probably be the last chance from me.

And I am discounting all of them($3 each instead of my typical ($6-12) as the goal is just to get them out to homes, and they're all between 12 weeks and 6 months, so no little pups this time around.

Keep a lookout for that update!! And thanks again to everyone who's gotten mice from me. I'll miss providing pets for y'all.

Here is a messy photo with some of the girls that will be available for you to enjoy!

04/11/2023

Here are the videos of my currently available girls and boys! I don't have a wait list, but I'll try and make sure those who have been in close contact with me are able to get some gals(or guys)!

Please text me with any questions and with which mice you are interested in. If you're a new mouse owner, I may have a couple questions for ya, just to make sure you're all set!

I've got some more mice looking for new homes!!!

If you're looking for some gals-- or even a boy, check out these videos to see if any if these little ones interest you. Feel free to text me with any questions, and I'll respond as fast as I can. I'm excited to find these guys homes. Thanks everyone!

P.S, I have a few more litters, and more older mice I'll be selling over the next couple months. My litters are numbered though--i only have a few actively breeding females left, and theyre the last one! I'll be sad to see the last litters born and raised, but onward we must go!

02/13/2023

*edit,
The cinnamon agouti, black angora, all the siamese based gals, and the chinchillsted recessive yellow angora have been claimed! I still have the chocolate satin and dominant hairless(for any more experienced pet owners/breeders)

And I will have more mice avialable in a bit, I still have some litters coming along. I hope everyone who's gotten mice so far enjoys them!

----
Hi guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted gals for sale, it's been a crazy couple months. I have another group of gals ready to go though! The link below has a video introducing them all.

https://youtu.be/U8-IIlO7jRI
----
I will be messaging people who have inquired recently first, and give as many as I can first pick. Any mice that aren't claimed by them in the next week will be available, and I'll update this post with that info!

The video attatched shows all of the current available girls. I'll post a few photos of avialable gals, but I don't have a picture of all of them.

Message me with any questions!
----
P.S-- if you've ever considered a male mouse or breeding, please message me! I do have an occasional male available, and I'd love to spread some of my good mouse genetics around for other breeders.

01/03/2023

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, s***ky, curiouse, and ready for a new home. Some are retired ladies(5-6 months old, they've still got s***k!) and some are young gals. Feel free to text me for availability and prices!

12/15/2022

Hi guys, good news! I've got 3 females that are ready to go to their new homes!

Theyre around 6 weeks old. A black, a chocolate, and a siamese splash texel! The two self girls are from the same litter, and share a mellow, relaxed personality. The texel is from a separate litter, and is curious, friendly and explorative. They're a sweet little group.

They will only be sold together. If you want to add 3 sweet gals to your home, please message me and I'll be happy to share more details!

12/11/2022

These little ones are sooo pretty!

I'll have some more mice available soon! Keep an eye out for updates😁.

12/03/2022

I just sent 3 gals off to their new home! I haven't sold mice in so long I forgot what it felt like; exciting and bittersweet. I miss em already, but it's worth it for the awesome lives I know they'll get to have, and the people they'll get to make happy. I can't give hundreds of mice the lives they deserve, so thank you to all the pet owners out there for providing such wonderful homes! You're awesome.

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.

11/13/2022

Two new litters!! They're just a few days old.

1. First from a chinchilla diluted reccessive yellow texel, and an angora tricolor siamese. I wanted to get more of the chinchilla dilute gene showing up(it makes colors just a bit lighter and when combines with siamese, makes creamy colors and pretty points!). I love those c-dilite varieties!

2. Second from a satin siamese+ extreme black. Hoping to get some satin blacks! The blacks in this litter will only be half extreme black, but they'll still be dark, and carry siamese+satin!

(Pics of the proud moms included)

11/06/2022

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!

11/04/2022

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.

10/01/2022

Hey guys! Thought I'd drop in and let you know how things are going.

I've been keeping mouse breeding slow and steady recently, hence my inactivity. I've got a LOT going on in my life, and I want to make sure I'm not sacrificing quality of care because of how busy I am. So that means fewer litters, and fewer projects. It's sad in some ways, but I've honestly enjoyed having fewer mice to work with, and getting things done with them is loads easier.

Another reason I've not been posting mice for sale is because I've still not got my lines where I want them. Integrating the new blood and working to maintain/get back to good personalities is TOUGH! And it will probably take me a good while. I'm seeing progress though! Hopefully with time, I can get my lines where I want them to be.

In the meantime, here are a few pups that came through recently! Not a very friendly litter(newer lines), but the apricot(?) Girl was the friendliest, so she'll be the next from her line to be a breeder. Hopefully her pups are even friendlier! That's the beauty of selective breeding.

08/29/2022

A distraction from my mouse breeding has come into my home.... chickens! And ducklings! I've had less time for breeding in the last but as I've been raising them. I feel bad in some ways, but I'm grateful for the experience. All animals are fascinating.

Thought I'd share this one cuz I ADORE beetle black coloring! Nothings beats that beautiful irridecence.

07/15/2022

For anyone local who's looking for texel, I have two black self texel males that fit my standards for selling! They're both calm and easy to handle, and though their black coloring is poor(black isn't the goal with their line), and they have longer guard hairs, they do have decent curls. They're currently about 7 weeks old.

Theyre an f1 generation, so longterm health isn't something I know much about. Their hopper stage was crazier than my longterm lines, but they calmed down well.

They Carry satin, recessive yellow, siamese, maybe merle, maybe pied

$6 each!
