Alright, I'm saying it. Bigger is better.

No, really.

Gerbils, degus, chinchillas, especially hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits all benefit from a

Bigger cage.

Rabbits are able to binkie and run, your guinea pigs will popcorn more, your chinchillas will have more space for natural behaviors.

Your birds, given enough space, will have enough room for free flight in their own enclosure.

Your bearded dragon will have more roaming room.

Your fish tank will be more stable in it's levels and less likely to have a cycle crash.

Bigger is certainly better with enclosures.

Except for mice.

The animal kingdom is so big, so vast and diverse, that no matter what you say there's likely an exception.

"Mammals don't lay eggs"

The platypus laughed at that one.

And mice laugh at bigger is better. But, their laughs often go unheard. With all other pets benefiting from larger enclosures, people often assume the same also goes for mice. But mice are not hamsters, in face they get stressed out in large, open spaces.

Mice like their enclosures to be cluttered. And I don't mean a little bit here and there so it looks messy, I'm talking hoarder house levels. Stuff stacked on top of stuff, stuff buried under the bedding, stuff everywhere.

And technically, yes, they can be mostly okay in a large enclosure. Sometimes. If the entire space is cluttered that way. And most people don't realize how difficult it is to do that. But after a certain point, no amount of clutter will make a large space okay for a mouse. They'll be constantly stressed and unhappy.

For 3 female mice or 1 male mouse, a 20 gallon tank is all they need. It will have enough of everything to make them happy if cluttered properly, and they will thrive. You do not need to upgrade to a 30 gallon tank unless you are going to have more mice in the enclosure.

so remember,

Bigger is better,

Except when it's mice. 🐁

Flashback to when Seal was sick.

Considering I had to force her to take meds for 14 days, I’m amazed she likes me so much

Litter two, and the parents.

Two black and tan, two black. Very healthy, robust pups.

Odd litter, and the parents.

Doe I believed is Argente, buck I believe is black dilute pied…

I thought I understood their genetic makeup, but I guess not.

Any ideas about what is going on here?

The brown baby perplexes me the most.

Very cute, anyway.
