Question
Hi, I realize that this is the most random question ever however I have been looking on my own with no results. Do you know where I could adopt a little girl mouse in the Jersey City/New York City area? I have been trying to find breeders and adoption center but have not had any sucess. My little Bambi's sister passed on yesterday after struggling to live after an accident with the rats. As Bambi's name suggests, she is a shy little girl and I really would like it if she could have a cagemate. Thanks.

Answer
Hi!

Here's a mouse adoption site:

Here's a link to a general pet adoption site for any kind of pet anywhere:

And here is my personal mouse 'dealer' here in NYC, Mikiodo.  Note he doesn't always have mice and he doesn't always approve everyone!:

Have fun!

I can answer questions about raising mice and caring for them as pets, with knowledge from my 38 years of having fancy mice as pets. I have NO MEDICAL TRAINING and you should take a sick mouse to the vet; but if you simply can't, I will try to help you. I LOVE PHOTOS!!! I ALSO LOVE UPDATES! Let me know how the little tyke is doing later on, for better or worse, especially orphans. It also helps me to help the next person. Please first search first: use 'Natasha Mice Mouse' with whatever else your question includes.

Experience

I have had mice for 37 years (since I was 5!). I raised them when I was a child but now I keep all females, and never fewer than three so that if one dies the others are not devastated, because they have each other.
