loneley mice

Question
I bought two feeder mice from the store both girls about a year ago one died and now I only have one . How should I introduce the second one that I may bye?

Answer
This is your decision. You could introduce a secondary mouse but you will face the same problem when your feeder mouse dies. Of course you could buy several mice (with mice the more the merrier) and keep mice for another few years.

12 months is quite a good age for a feeder mouse so theres a chance she won't last much longer. Mice are social creatures and prefer the company of other mice. However you may decide to play with her a lot in her last days, it's up to you.

If you introduce more mice make sure they are all the same sex and buy them for a reputable pet shop/breeder. You can even take her along and see who she gets on best with. Make sure the cage is big enough for however many mice you decide to keep and include plenty of hiding places such as boxes and tubes.
