They love the new space. I had been keeping them in an aquarium (too small for all three Sad

) but it got smelly fast because the smell was concentrated and the air flow in there was bad for us to smell, and bad for their health.

We moved them up into a Ham cage, attached some wheels and water bottle and bought them a new timber house, and now they're living happy in a huge mouse mansion! They like to explore it, and are having a great time being little girl buttheads in all the new areas there is to explore.

I thought I'd attach some pictures of the meece enjoyin their new house

You can see them in both wheels, playing in the timber house, and a few of them just being streaks of mice-blur since they are camera shy ^_^ Enjoy! Mr. Green

How old are the girls? Are they poop machines? I have three new ones who very very young when I got them, just past 5 weeks, the youngest mice I've ever got (except for Thimble and he's a deerie), and they poop everywhere, like massive amounts, all the time. In the food, everywhere. Yuck

They're awfully cute, though. Oh but they smell, too, like the GBs did (like Fritos and pee), even within a few hours of a daily cage cleaning. Yoli and Crazy never smelled like that.

My girl mice smell almost as bad as my boys. I clean them pretty often, their pee is just so... manly.

Also, mine use their food bowl as a toilet. I end up having to throw away half a bowl of food every day because by nightime its soggy with girl pee. Yuck

they stink, but it was because all three were being kept in a 5 gallon aquarium, whichis too small and had no air flow. I haven't smelled anything since the new cage

WOO! stinky mouses are stinkier than big huge rats!

The only downfall about this cage, as I've discovered with time, is that Pipi (the only smart mouse, the black one) can easily fit through the bars.
Luckiyl she is a lot more tame than the white girls and will just sit and let me nab her and put her back in the cage.

The Dumb and Dumber mice don't try to escape (silly white girls), they just eat and be fat all day..unless of course I put my hand in the cage then they hop on their wheel and try to run away O_o;
