What are some signs that a mature male is falling in love with a female?
Usually mature males say what they mean and even if they are shy they are usually mature enough to have the nerve to ask you out on a date. There is simply a mature demeanor about them (a gentleman) and they'd take you out for dinner, clubs, a movie, long walks and discuss future plans (whether it's his plans or your plans for the future.)
Having recently dealt with a day when numerous examples of other people's irresponsibility impacted on me, directly, I lamented how other people's concerns had become my responsibility. Yet other people's obligations can only become our responsibility if we accept them. Part of the problem was mine. I felt weary, neglected, and somewhat angry.
It's amazing what exercise does. A 30-minute sprint on the bike, up hills and into a headwind, and I was sorted. No longer did I feel weak; strength was mine in abundance, and peace.
I had no problems to solve. All I had were opportunities, as the strain-value of the past day's woes vanished in significance. Then I was reminded of the strength we gain from God as we recover from our weaknesses.
Then I discovered, afresh, that not only does peace return with strength, but the ability to see right as well. Our perspective is fixed. The prayer above protects our strength. As strength provides peace and righteousness, both peace and righteousness support strength.
WHEN WEAKNESS FACILITATES STRENGTH
I am mindful of the paradox that avails itself upon us within our weakness. When we are weak we feel weak, but we may never be closer to strength. Weakness facilitates strength. It takes us down to an entirely unacceptable position and from there we have little choice, if we have a strong enough self-interest, but to claw our way out in our resilience.
Nietzsche coined the quote, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger," and he highlighted a truth so compelling it works in every situation we apply it to.
The strange reality of weakness, which is something we don't see in our weakness, and we can only see by faith, is the emergent strength coming, when we can begin to see the truth again, is of a stronger proof than the previous strength. This new strength comes with a punch about it. This new strength compels us to compete. It gives us fresh reason to try. And by this strength we can see the importance of rallying for the purpose at hand.
There is strength available with immediacy out of weakness. Strength out of weakness is stronger than normal strength. It is a recovered strength. It is a strength that is formidable because it knows no reason for fear of failure. This strength, like our salvation, is mighty to save.
Strength out of weakness is stronger strength than normal because there is peace and right sight. This strength inspires a fresh confidence because we overcame the weakness. If weakness cannot overcome us, what can?
Know more see my bio.
if they have red or cherryish coloured eyes ( these rats are called albenos) then no.
Is it normal for mouses head to shake?
Ummmm.....no.
A mouse with a shaking head should be taken to a vet, for it is likely to be an inner ear infection & can cause a great deal of pain & discomfort. Putting a mouse on antibiotic, such as Baytril, will cure the infection, though the mouse may be permanently handicapped for the duration of its life time.
Because it is cold outside and they will stay if you leave your food out or not contained.
im not sure if here are any places where dead mice r publicly availble, but i imagine that it wood be possible 2 aquire 1 from a mouse breeder
Do boy mice stink more than girl mice?
yes boy mice smell more stinky than girl girl mice. i know this because of experience. my sister had a boy mouse and then when it passed away she got two girl mice and it did not stink as much so if you are going to get a mouse get a girl Boys tend to be more cuddly, but do let off more odor, but the difference is not huge enough that it should affect your choice in pets. Both genders make good pets. While girls smell less, they're less cuddly. There's a pro and con to each.
Who is more intelligence rats or mice?
Rats are undoubtedly intelligent, able to solve mazes and simple tasks given by humans. They have been shown to be smarter than pigeons, and can learn many tricks that dogs do like sitting up and playing fetch. Yet dogs can accomplish many more tricks and in have also been known to learn human faces among other signs of intelligence.
What is the average age a mouse lives to?
About 1-2 years for some, but others can live as long as 4.
There are many different thing you can cook for a cat and if you are curious check out the book Whole Health for happy cats, it has a ton of different recipes in this book for food you can feed your cat with instructions!
How can you bond with an eight week old female mouse?
Feed it! Feed her normal dietary requirements (found in a pet food store) and give her "treats" which would be what she would want to eat if she was rummaging through your cabinets. My rats like goldfish crackers and cinnamon toast crunch most but there's always bread and cheese lol. After a week or so she will come to you for food and as long as she is not a timid mouse she will eventually take it from you and come to you in general.
How long has your rat bitten you for? Is it a female it could be pregnant or not like it's food or the way you are treating it. Ask your vet or a friend who knows about rats.
Also, a rat may bite if it is sick or lonely. what I have encountered is my rat biting because he thinks that everytime I put my hand in, that I am giving him food, and when he doesnt see the food he smells food on my hands and bites- not realizing that he has hurt you.
Could you hear a mouse squeak in your house?
Sometimes it is likely in a lot of times it isn't true to hear mice. It really depends if you have any in your house.
How long is it before you can check on baby mice?
My mouse had babies last night :) I was worried at first because the nest was in a carboard box and i couldn't see if there was anything wrong. Ive been getting alot of different advise so i rang my vet and they said about a week or so, but on the interent it says day, weeks, imidiatly. I was unsure so i held the mother mouse and moved the nest with a spoon so i couldn't put my sent on them, i counted 11 :) then out her back, atleast now i know the babies are safe and well.
As soon as your pet mice are weaned, or will eat solid food and do not depend on their mother, immediatlly separate the males and females. This shows signs of maturity and the males and females will soon start to breed.
