I'm getting a new fuzzbutt today!!! :D

I knowwww, I love dumbos! But the dumbos are older, so intros might be more difficult. The little babies don't smell like 'men' yet so it's easier to introduce them to bucks. But my boys are really friendly so I'm sure either one would work in time.

I have to wait though because the store with the dumbos doesn't open until 11 and the other one isn't getting their babies until 12-1. :sad:

I've got one in a mouse trap out in my shop you can have. I haven't thrown it away yet.

Well at least you're using humane methods...:ohwell:

We had mice when my son was little and we lived in an apt. which allowed no pets. I remember our "safety password" changed after one of the mice died.... It became "Mickey is burried in the backyard". I'm sure nobody would have guessed that one!

Yeaaaa ours is no pets as well..too bad the woman across the hall has a dog and the apartment owner KNOWS but is okay with it because she's been here a long time! And the guy upstairs has a gf who brings her dog when she comes to visit. And they allow smoking! Ew! That will damage an apartment more than a pet will. I hate no-pet apartments. :grumble: Mice are really cute, they come in all sorts of colors and patterns just like rats. Just tinier hehe

I remember we had an awsome one we named Oscar... His fur was all different lengths. He looked so shaggy and dishevelled. He was the nicest one too... liked being held ALOT. Unfortunately, one New Years Eve, one of my roommate's friends was playing with him, dropped him and he was missing for a few days. I found him hiding in the rolls of wrapping paper, but he was not doing well, because the cat had found him first. Poor bugger.

Awwwwe poor baby!! My parents have 3 cats, but the worst one did was just sit on top of the rat cage and watch Rat TV when I went to visit hehe...they will be living there again over the summer, so I'll be checking in all the time!! I have a 4 yr old brother and I don't want him opening the cage. :ohwell:

Well I got my baby!
I got the best of both worlds--I got a Dumbo that IS a baby--and he's a rex too!!!! Rexes have curly hair and silly curly whiskers. He has a black hood and is almost a bareback but has a spot on his bottom. He also has a perfect little white stripe on his forehead. Edit: Pictures aren't working! He looks like the baby I posted earlier but with short wavy hair and big curly whiskers.

He is around 5 wks old and SO cute! There were 5 boys in the tank so I just stuck my hand in there and saw what they did. At first they were all nervous, but then the two rexes came up and started sniffing my hand and grooming my knuckles hehe..so I picked each one up separately, and when I picked this little guy up he climbed right onto my shoulder and then around to the back of my neck and wouldn't leave lol! He even stayed up there when we went to two different shops for food and in the car as well. He fell asleep even. :smooched: Now he is set up in his new cage and exploring. His tank at the shop was very bare and not well ventilated so he has a little bit of a sneeze, but with his great new diet full of fruits and veggies and better living conditions he'll be fine. He is so funny...he doesn't walk around obstacles, he just pushes them out of the way! And so far he loves cottage cheese, grapes, brocollli, watermelon, and cantaloupe hehe :happy:

That's torture for a kid to not be able to play with them!... Probably better that he's 4 and not 7 or 8, because then he'd be bustin the cage open and showing off for his friends. But they are soo soft, and I love when they wrap their tails around your finger/wrist (for stability, I am assuming) when you're petting them.

Well I let him feed them when I'm around, but we keep them in my dad's office which he's not allowed to be in anyway. I always get the tail right in my mouth while they walk around on my shoulders haha :laugh:

Oh yea, and his name is Zeuss!! Had to keep going with the Greek/Roman theme and it's cute cause he's so tiny hehe :smooched:
