Boop - Banded Black Tan Manx rescue!
Meet Boop - a banded black tan manx with an amazing story!
I went to a pet store in my home town yesterday, only to discover repulsive conditions. All of the animals - be they ferrets, hedgehogs, lizards, mice, dogs, or fish, were being fed low-grade cat food... exclusively. None of the animals had water. And in the back room, in a twenty gallon tank, there were over sixty mice of mixed sex, all tiny, yet some already had pinkies, which were strewn across the floor.
I had already called animal control and the authorities over this pet shop once, when I found a python being kept in yellowed water and being sold as an anaconda - and they had only gotten worse. So, I filled my water bottle in the bathroom and then began filling all of the animals' water, as their tanks were lidless. I asked the woman why a particular lizard had cobwebs in his cage, and she informed me that she was scared of him. She also told me that the mixed-sex tank was from two week to one month olds. Then, upon seeing dead and living pinkies strewn across the floor in several cages, and when the store-hand had left to smoke a cigarette, I grabbed a box and fished out the first couple of mice I could from a couple of different tanks. I grabbed the only splashed doe that wasn't obviously pregnant - Bijou (http://www.fancymicebreeders.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5416)- and an interested little banded black tan who ended up being a manx! I then called the authorities once more, and left.
So here is Boop, a banded black tan manx doe which I decided to save without supporting her "caregivers" who did anything but:
She is supposedly between two weeks and one month old.

Let me know what you think of her... hopefully you aren't too bothered by my rash actions

Well, I actually think that she may be manx. They had an adult manx doe that was heavily pregnant, and a few others missing tails. Whatever though I don't really care either way. I just love her She's so cute. haha. Maybe we'll try for manx in the future if she turns out big and healthy by some miracle!

Regardless of weather she's manx or not, she's reasonably healthy looking and very cute indeed!JustMouse said:So here is Boop, a banded black tan manx doe which I decided to save without supporting her "caregivers"
