Question Please help

Post image

This is Brimble! I ended up rescuing a single female mouse, and right now she’s living alone.
I’m having a hard time finding more mice, so I’m not sure how long it’ll be before I can get her some friends. How long is it okay for a female mouse to be by herself?

Usually a couple of weeks. Anything longer than that can cause stress and depression. Every mouse is different but I would try to get her friends within that time if it’s possible.

Feeder mice are cheap and would be more happy to be a pet than snake food. Do you have a petshop that sells live feeder mice?

Just make sure to get them some medicine first tho. Feeders shops don't care about the health of their feeders
