Do you guys think this is a good idea?
by DVirginiana Sun 29 May 2016, 4:59 am
My local pet store had some baby mice (just weaned) today and that got me thinking... Would it be a good idea to have a thread where members can post notifications about mice for sale or adoption in special circumstances? I know I'd be happy to drive an hour or two to pick up a mouse from a more reputable place.
For example, my local store has exceptional standards for animal care, including feeders. Since feeders are often treated horribly, I try to support that store as much as I can. (In fact, I've gotten pet rats straight out of their feeder stock that were healthier both mentally and physically than ones in chain stores). Since choosing where to buy mice can often be something of an ethical dilemma I just thought making a thread like that might be helpful.
lol I'm dealing with some serious insomnia right now so I'm just sitting here thinking about rodents.

I like the sound of it, but of course it's up to the mods.

Like, just a sticky in mouse chat? I think it's a neat idea. Maybe it could be more general "mice available/wanted" since we dont have that section? Or whatever. We can try it if you want to start it.

I like the idea! It'd be a great way to get the word out about mice who need rehoming or any sort of similar situations.

I've had people in real life ask me multiple times where they could go to get mice or rats that are well taken care of, and I'm sure a lot of other ppl here run into that as well. Having input from other areas would help with that.
If someone makes it a sticky, I'll put up places I know of!
