Why this pet is the one for you: This is Banana! She is a sweet little mouse looking for a home to call her own. Mice are extremely social animals who need to be kept in pairs/groups. She loves her human companions, but having mice friends is essential to her well being. She must be adopted with one of her sisters, but ideally they would be adopted in a group of four. Mice are such social creatures that when their buddy passes away it's very hard for them to go on with life. For this reason it's best to keep female mice in groups! It's so much fun to watch a group of mice communicate, cuddle, and explore together. She has shown both social and fearful behaviors in some situations. It is important to give her time and patience to settle into her new home. Please be sure to respect her boundaries and let her warm up into handling. She enjoys running in her wheel and burrowing! Mice love to burrow and digging in their substrate is a really important behavior for them, so their cage needs a good size footprint of at least 65 x 45 cm / 25.6 x 17.7 inch, with a nice base tub to hold a thick layer of substrate. Mice also need to climb, so 40 cm / 15.7 inch is a good minimum height for a mouse cage. The bigger the better, but you will want to make sure the metal bars are close enough together that she could not slip out. If you would like to learn more, please schedule an appointment with us today!
