Aw, there was this teeny tiny baby in the feeder tank at Petco and I she locked eyes with me and now I have another little lady mouse. She's just a baby! She's so gentle and sweet and so pretty.

Behold! She doesn't have a name yet, I'm just sorta calling her Sally for now. She has red eyes, and he spots are a beautiful dove color, and she has tan spots on her belly. I sure hope she fits in with my ladies! I don't see why she wouldn't. I've had really excellent luck adding sweet little babies into my colony.

She's not much bigger than a peanut! It was just for show, I didn't let her keep it. Not that she would have cared, she was really into her millet.

Aww, so tiny and so beautiful. I know how it is, I always have to restrain myself at looking at the mice whenever I stop by the pet shop. I like the name Sally. Short and sweet, if you choose to keep it. Best of wishes!

Ee, congrats on your new girlie!! Very Happy

I've been wishing for a pink eyed mouse for months. There are a couple girls at the shelter who have pink eyes and look the same color as yours, but I've been playing the "I need one... I need one not" game. lol

I just had her out, she's so gentle and sweet and slow! Not zippy like all my recent youngsters. I weighed her... She's only 13 grams! Jeepers that's little. This is by far the littlest mouse I've ever had.

Cutie! Tans are interesting. As far as I recall, I've only ever had two of them.

I'm disappointed that Petco received a mouse weighing only 13 grams. It's likely she wasn't four weeks old yet.

Luckily, despite Petco, she looks really healthy. Bright eyes, smooth fur, and not at all skinny. She's also got a good appetite and is super excited to try new foods. All the other mice in there tank were at least twice her size. It was the saddest thing to see that tiny baby in there... It kills me! Anyway, she's safe now and she's all mine! And she is the sweetest, most trusting little thing.

Awww. She's very pretty.

She's lovely! And such a tiny little thing too. Hopefully she'll put on the grams.

Lucky little thing she is, finding her way to you Smile

Welcome home, little mouse.

She is settling in nicely. Just hanging out. Sweet little thing was starving at Petco eating that garbage food and now she wants to eat everything, even vegetables mealworms, and crickets! Anyway, enjoy these little pictures of my little friend. I wanted to show off her unusual belly, her champagne colored spots on her back change into cream colored spots on her bottom and belly. It's not the best picture, but I don't want to bother her too much! She walked right on my hand today, stayed calm while I walked her around, and then ate a mealworm while sitting in my hand. I love her!! Love
