Meet Raspberry and Papaya
- Sweet
- Confident (Papaya)
- Gentle (Raspberry)
Meet these two beautiful little girls, they are looking for a home where they can be introduced to some more mice friends to play with.
Papaya is the more confident of the two girls, she will always be the first to come and say hello. She has been gaining more and more confidence each day, almost brave enough to take her favourite treat from your fingers.
Raspberry is more reserved, and will often be hidden away for the first few minutes, but you will soon see her nose poke out of her hiding spot and carefully watch. With some more time to settle and with some soft voices and soft handling, we are certain it wont be long before Raspberry is exploring happily around with Papaya.
One thing these girls love to do, is DIG! They absolutely love it, creating lots of little mounds all over their cage. Whether they’re digging in their soil tray, in their normal substrate or their soft bedding, they are having so much fun.
If you have a lonely mouse who is in need of some very sweet girls to cuddle with, or you have a group who enjoy the bigger social life.
Accommodation requirements
Although mice are very small, they’re super busy and energetic. They absolutely love to climb and explore their surroundings, forage for food and dig in their bedding. So the cage you choose will need lots of floor space for them to live their best life.
The ideal cage size for three or four mice:
- 80cm wide by 50cm deep by 35cm high
- Bar spacing – 7-9mm (7mm is the safest option to prevent any escapees)
An 80cm x 50cm cage suitable for three or four mice, filled with toys, ropes, branches and an exercise wheel.
