Hello from Aberdeen!

Hello everyone!

I have come across here from the allaboutmice forum - it seems perpetually to be undergoing maintenance at the moment, and I was missing out on valuable mouse-related information and chatter (not something I have found a great deal of in Aberdeen...). I hope I have now found the right place to be!

I have been keeping mice for nearly 18 months, and currently have a little gang of 1 female (Saria - broken black and tan) and 2 neutered males (Ollivander - black and tan and Yorkie - chocolate and tan) (the males being the result of an unexpected pregnancy in one of my mice, who originally lived together but decided that they would rather fight than get along nicely, despite my best efforts to get them to remain friends - hence the neutering. It seemed to work - I now find them snuggled up in a little cosy bundle most times when I go looking!)

My little mice are such characters! Yorkie likes nothing better than to curl up in my hands purring, half asleep. Ollivander is normally seen posing on a rope, in the hope that I will find him to look so lovely that I will give in and feed him a little treat (usually a sunflower seed) - in my opinion he is a very handsome fellow! Saria is always on the go, re-arranging things and ensuring the cage has not changed since she last wandered round it, although recently, following the death of her two female cage-mates she seems a little less active. However, she is still a very lovely mouse, and was one of the first mice I got.
