Care of Mice and Rats

Mouse dropping are hard after they have dried.

Take a spray bottle and squirt the mouse or mice with fresh water

Sheep and goats can drink more than a gallon of water per day. Many sheep and goat owners provide an open water container for their sheep and goats, so this way the sheep and/or goats can drink whenever they feel the slightest bit parched. My sheep are provided with automatic water-ers which are nice because they fill themselves, I just have to clean them every day or so. Open bodies of water such as ponds or creeks are a good source of water for grazers. Hope this was helpful.

Try separating the mice. The mouse being aggressive is probably wanting morespace to itself, or coming on baby making (baby part depends on if it's old or young and if it has lived with males before). Make shure the aggresive one is female. Male are always aggresive with another mouse. the last reason is that it might have gotten a little lonley with out human company. At the place you bought them they probably got much attention, and now not as much.

They can eat both, though they tend to enjoy pears more than tomatoes.

ask really nice maybe they will move out - or call arthor ardvack house movers stop parking the truck in the barn, or keep it away from the bales.

Rats are rodents that are omnivores. They will eat anything and everything. If there is no other food left on an island, they will even eat each other. Rats are really the great survivors. Sewer rats can exist, quite comfortably, on what bits of food we swill down our kitchen sink's plug hole. Rats, though not to everyones liking, make excellent pets, and are specially bred just for that reason.

First you will need a cage, they will sell them at pet stores or if u need one right away use a temporary container. Poke holes in it so the mouse can breathe. Use the shavings they have at pet stores or if u need it now tear some kleenex or toilet paper up. Make sure u get the shavings later on. Then you need a rodent water bottle or if u need 1 right away get a tiny tiny bowl or container and put fresh water in it. Make sure the water is not much higher than 1/2 an inch, I've had one of my mice drowned before. :( Give the mouse 1-2 meals a day, u can feed them sunflower seeds, nuts, other seeds, and peanut-butter, but they really need a full diet or they will become unhealthy. Pet stores will sell rat and mouse food, try to buy that as soon as possible. Ironically, mice do not love cheese, they will eat it but don't give them too much dairy because it is not good for them. Also mice need privacy sometimes so they should have their own house, pet stores will sell fancy houses or u could just use toilet paper rolls. Be careful, styrofoam plastic, and other materials will harm your mice if they chew it, don't use these things. Finally, mice need exersise. Get them a running wheel, one of those clear ball exersise things, or take them out for at least 30 mins-1 hr every day. The pet stores will supply these things also. And most importantly- give your mouse a name, and some love!

I dont know what you are talking about, but I would suggest buying a new one or getting somebody that has some skills with mechanics to look at it.

the body doesn't it naturally grows them from the begining

== == Any vet should be able to work with any animal (including rodents such as rats and mice.) Sometimes vets are called upon to treat horses, cows, and other farm animals if you live in a farming or ranch area. Visit RMCA.org. They have a veterinary listing of vets who specializes in exotics and rodents. I would also highly recommend all of the vets at VCA-All Care. It is a 'chain' veterinary clinic and they offer a lot of services that regular offices do not have such as 24 Emergency Care, physical therapy, boarding and oncology services. Each county should have a vet clinic too and it's usually cheaper since it's through the county. Ask friends or family where they take their pets. Word of mouth is the best form of finding a good vet. I can definitely answer this question because my dad treats dogs and I am sure he could help a mouse. You have to look for a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets. Then, you should still call the vet's office and ask specifically if the vet treats mice and rats. Depending how populated your area will determine how easily you'll find a vet to treat both mice and dogs. The more populated an area the more likely they will specialize and you'll have to find a vet who works with "exotics" (mice - and most rodents). Unless they are so specialized that they treat exotics at the exclusion of all other animals, then getting a dog treated at the same location should be pretty routine. Dr. Denton, Bowling Green, KY

well i have a baby jumping mouse and he hasn't opened his eyes yet and i wet a piece of paper towel and put a tiny bit of food at a time on the end because their mums tongue would of been wet so that's how I feed my baby jumping mouse see if what I do works.

Some do and some dont.

Windex :D

Put your rat's FAVORITE treat in your mouth. Then if your rat trys to take the treat from your mouth then don't let go of the treat. When your rat licks the treat give it to him/her. Do this many times until your rat gets the idea. Then sometimes your rat might lick your mouth in hopes of a treat. (This will not work with wild rats. Wild rats will most likely bite you. If they bite you then you could get infected by a desees that a wild rat might carry.)

You NEVER EVER want to use pine or cedar shavings for your pet rat or mouse! The phenol in the wood shavings will kill them! Mice and rats are prone to respitory problems, and with wood shavings.. you shorten their lives dramatically! Used recycled paper bedding like CareFresh or Cage Tech (The MUCH cheaper equivalent made my Harlan Teklad 33lbs for 12 bucks). Rat and mice mommies usually create a nest with the bedding and their fur for their babies. You can buy cotton nest material for the pinky mouse to add to the cage. Remember, do not touch the pinky mouse at all! The mother will abandon it or kill it if you do. And be careful of entering the cage..the mom may attack. Anytime you have questions regarding your rat/mouse email someone from the RMCA (Rat Mouse Club of America) and they will email you within a day or two. They have always been super helpful with me. Hopefully the mother of the baby mouse is with the baby,we used to keep the mice in 10 gallon fish tanks, we also used processed wood shavings, as for the temperature, between 72 and 78 degrees. newspaper has ink try to stay away from it, also cedar shavings the aroma can be too strong for the babies,

It depends on what genes it got from the parents, recessive or dominant.

no. the mother mouse would only kill its baby if it was dead or sick! if the others are healthy she will not kill them.

Baby mice are usually referred to as pinkies. A general image search for pinky mice will bring up a lot of pictures, but they usually include a lot of pictures of them being eaten since they are a common food of domesticated reptiles. That can be a little disturbing for lovers of all things warm blooded. See the related link below for a single pic with nothing being eaten.

Start with clean, sifted sand that is available at garden centers.
Cover the sandbox when it is not being used. This will prevent bugs from settling in and also prevent cats from using the sandbox as a litterbox.

Oh yes, they will hide and nest in anything

I think a boy rat because as a example a girl lion is more dangerous then a boy lion but i dont even like rats but its true
