ahhhh i really hope im able to get new babies next week </3
#again i hope there are some but i hope there arent many available#i have 7 rn but bc theyre old and some seem like theyre about to pass im willing to get a bit more than max capacity#because realistically they are not going to live much longer and i could even lose another within the weeks it takes me to quarantine the#new ones#like sushi specifically will need to be put down within the next month bc of the tumor growing behind her eye#(their tank can fit 12 mice. i personally prefer to keep my colony at max capacity because it's the most natural#social situation they would be in; having been bred from house mice who live in large numbers in very small spaces)#the cage is big enough for 12 mice to have 150 squared cm each which is the standard in europe#some estimates show i could have 16 mice but i think thats a little overboard in terms of feeding and enrichment and vet bills#but yeah if i get 7 next week and im about to lose sushi then that will put me at 13. and again a few more are on their last legs#it's hard to say goodbye to my old girlies it really is but im excited to bond with new babies and to see the tank lively again#saying goodbye allows me to take in new babies to love and provide a happy life for.#that and i love to watch the new girls form their personalities#split pea was named split pea bc she was a major jumper as a baby and would always jump out of the cage and try to 'split' outta there#but now??? shes one of my most lovey dovey mice#she'll reach up and grab my hand and pull it close to her for pets#shes one of my fatter less active girls too so she aint jumping nowhere anymore#it's just so interesting watching how they grow and change over the months and years theyre alive.#they have such short lives but they live so fully.
