These mice came out of the same tank and now are in a tank together so hopefully they will be friendly( although when they found a peice of dog food in their food dish they did fight over it instead of the other mouse getting another peice *rme*)
For now they are in a foot by half small carrier .. but in about a month our iguana will out grow its 20gal tall tank and we are working on building a larger one, so they can move into it. Until then they are in our bathroom with the door closed because the cats keep trying to knock the cage off things so they can get to the mice. Once i get the cat i rescued fixed and checked out i can put the mice in the bed room he is staying in since we have a female that isn't fixed and is in heat.
We have a zoo at our house so i have tons of feeds and grains and seeds and nuts that i could select from to make a mice feed ..

Right now i have them with some bird seed, grain and a few peices of dog food broken into small peices. I noticed that the female mouse went right for the dog food and chowed down. The mice were a little skinny when i first brought them home day before yesterday, but now they are tubby around the middle. I am hoping that is okay and they are just getting used to a new diet.
they have been peeing and pooing regularly and have been really active making nests and burrowing though the short peices of shredded newspaper i gave them ( no color images on the newspaper i used ) I also gave them a little bit of 100% cotton stuffing which they used to line a nest and love to sleep on it *lol* I also give them a peice of rawhide to chew so they dont chew anything else. i have wood bunny chews as well but i didn't put that in there.
