So I just thought I'd start jotting down my thoughts about deer mice.
I have a trio. 2 males an one female. The female was wild caught, turned out to be pregnant, and had a litter of 6, of which I got to keep 2 of the males. They live quite happily in a 5 gallon tank. They loooove to shred stuff. I give them shred-a-bed blocks and they completely destroy them. They build extremely intricate nests with tons of tunnels and chambers. I hate cleaning their cage and avoid it as much as possible because of the intricacies! They even have one chamber just for storing food, I don't feed them as often because they store it all away. They pick up a load and stuff it in their cheeks and hide it away and come for more!Their cage stays really clean, I think they might have a chamber just for using the bathroom. I only clean their cage about once every 3 times I clean, because it just doesn't get dirty. Even when I clean it, it never stinks. Glass water bottles are very important. any suggestions.?
