just ordered a slightly bigger 15 gallon tank for mochi and sushi. I plan to give them the 30 gallon tank when I upgrade the main colonies tank to an ikea DIY, but for right now I just want something that's big enough to work. the ten gallon works for temporary bonding set ups, but after that? it's way too small.

Even tho 15 gallons are only bigger by a total of four inches it will make a HUGE difference for me and for them. the wheel will fit a lot nicer and I'll be able to use more height room. it's a reptile tank so it came with a mesh lid already factored into it's total cost, which is great bc mesh screens are so expensive. idk what I'm gonna do with the other ten gallon I have now, honestly.

will probably just leave it empty in case I need to quarantine another mouse (jasmine has taken permanent residence in the current quarantine tank). if I was stupid I would go and get more mice but I am holding myself back by the scruff of my neck.

I also got them a new water bottle holder bc I literally cant stand trying to hang it on the side and I refuse to use velcro like other mouse moms.

also got them a few new toys and hides too. so now they can have more variety when I clean out their cages. it's mostly for the main colony though, bc they have a bit of empty space in the right side of the tank that I wanna fill up.

got them a little platform house (like the one the main colony has now. two rooms and a flat top so I can put stuff on it.) and a full house with a second story and a balcony.

another table platform. idk if this is just to replace the one in the main colony (which they chewed the legs all to shit on) or if it's to go with mochi and sushi.

got like five chew balls. a triangular straw tunnel.

a hammock and a new wooden bridge.

i just love them so much and want them to be happy </3 esp bc ginger, clove and dhal are getting close to a year old now. I don't ave much time with them.

#i looked on amazon for a hot minute for some toys and I'm blown away by how many small animal toys on there are just outright lethal.#even ones made by big brands.#yes im talking SPECIFICALLY about kaytee.#all of kaytee's toys are disgustingly dangerous for small animals or just outright unwanted by the animals #so many of them have dyes that leech into water and onto your hands with minimal handling or smells like chemicals. or as HOT GLUE everywhe #none of the reviews are by mouse moms bc mouse moms are so insanely strict with what they give their mice. if it is 110% safe tey don't ris #it. period. meanwile other rodent owners are just like 'fuck it'#it seems like rabbit guinea pig hamster and chinchilla owners don't give a single shit about their animals and just give them #whatever even when they can clearly see it isn't safe #so many reviews were 'my rabbit died bc of this!'#or 'my hamster died right after i put it in the cage!'#or 'my chinchilla broke her foot on this!' (I saw this one literally five separate times. how negligent can chinchilla owners be?)
