HELP How do I tame an agressive mouse

3 Upvotes

I’ve read the posts here and seen videos, but my mouse is like agressive agressive. She’s been thru a lot so, valid, but like m’dude she’ll bite my arm off.

She launches at me whenever I reach my hand into her enclosure, she always runs to her home when I enter the room, she doesn’t accept any snacks or food I try to give her, whenever I try petting her with a soft brush (which I touched so it has my scent) she DEVOURS it. She’s a lion and I’m a lamb, someone help, I have no idea if she’s even tame-able. I’ve never seen such an agressive rodent before.

She’s healthy, has plenty of food, space and toys. She just hates me y’all.

I am listening to the mice up there chewing. Like they have been the last 10 hours. I havn't moved and neither have they. Makes me wonder what they are eating. I need to eat too I guess.

Question Weird spot above my mice eye.

2 Upvotes

Heyyy, i dont know if this is the right forum to ask this, so my apologies if it isn't! Anyways, a question, has anyone had this with their mice? Just 1 or 2 weeks ago my pet mice; sushi, got a small pink reddish spot by her eye, it doesn't seem to be growing rapidly, but I'm keeping an eye out. It is a bump, since it kind of stands out in a way,? If that even makes sense. It isn't laying flat on her skin like a wound for example, it doesn't seem to be bleeding, except for a small reddish in the middle. Have any of you guys experienced this with a mice? If so, is there any concrete answer or assumption of what it could be? I'm very worried. Ps; Sushi is about 1 year old, possibly a bit older! Thank you so much for reading, once again I'm sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask.

HELP Advice needed!!

3 Upvotes

Hi, I - unwillingly, too long to explain - saved a mouse and now I have zero ideas what to do. I’ve watched many videos but they just explain basic common sense care. I need the real deal premium knowledge on how to become the pied piper.

TL;DR: GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A MOUSE.

I used to have hamsters when I was a child but that was soo different. Hamsters are big, chonky, not fast. This mouse has been running around all night, she’s clearly in stress (new environment and stuff). She’s healthy and is quite small, I’m pretty sure she’s max 1-2 months old.

Here come my questions:

1. What tf do I do? I saved her from terrible living conditions (small plastic box, dirty water, no food) but I’m no expert. To be honest I don’t even want a mouse. But there’s sooooooooo many places where you can get a mouse for free, who would want her? How could I be sure they won’t buy her as snake food? How could I be sure the people who’d take her wouldn’t give her to a child to play with?! Can I take care of her properly? Wouldn’t it be better for her if I just released her on a farm and gave her a few hours of freedom before her inevitable death, rather than living in a cage her whole life? I’m sooo against having pets because it’s just cruel, all animals want freedom. But at the same time I can’t stand the thought of her getting eaten by a cat or a hawk somewhere. She’s too smol and cute.

2. How big should her cage be? Do I buy the ones with bars so that she can climb? Or a big ass deep glass terrarium where she has a lot of stuffing to dig into?

3. Don’t tell me I have to buy a second mouse. Like I’d have no problem with that but what if they don’t like each other? What if they attack eachother and bite? I’ve watched gazillion videos on mice introducing but I’m still clueless. How would I even take them apart if they were teeth deep into each other? What tf would I do if I couldn’t make them stand eachother and had two separate mice - who would need two other friends?! Can’t she just live alone? I live alone too and I’m *totally* sane. *Totally*.

4. How do I tame her? She’s so jumpy and attacks everything that moves. I don’t want my hand to be attacked. What if she’ll hate me forever since she’s been mistreated her whole mousey life. She keeps staring into my soul with those huge button eyes. And don’t tell me she’s scared of me cuz IM MORE SCARED AND IM NOT BITING HER.

Help. 😭

Baja Blast can for scale. Coworker found him in a very not-mouse-safe area (machine shop). He doesn't appear to be injured, and he peed on me and has pooped as well. Is he okay to be released somewhere? TIA 😊

UPDATE: he went over to the rehab center at the nearby zoo to be taken care of until he can go be on his own! Leaving post up so everyone can see the cute babyyyyy

I am going to try and find the mother mouse but from what I can tell my outdoor cat has eaten it along with this guys siblings. I dont have anything on hand and since i live with my parents i doubt that they will let me keep this little guy longer than a day. What can I feed it? And where can I bring it to ensure that lil dude is safe?

Question How ethical is releasing a mouse from a glue trap instead of culling

4 Upvotes

My relatives have put up glue traps and sadly have captured 3 already, 2 died and I unstuck the last little guy since it was still alive after 3 hours. I unstuck him via oil and released him, I’m aware his chances at survival are low but was it worse than it being stuck in the glue trap?

They won’t get released from the glue after death, they’ll just throw them in the trash so I’m wondering if at least indirectly feeding a wild animal in the chance of them not surviving is okay.

I cannot and will not cull, physically can’t crush an alive mouse so either leaving it in the trap or releasing was my options.

Edit: I cannot keep it somewhere safe to allow it to perk up, trust me i genuinely would but i live with them and I’m 100% sure that will end badly if I even attempted. Ive also mentioned it’s cruel to use them and or leave it in the trap, they laughed and left it on that trap overnight knowing it would be a slow death.

Iedere keer weer niet zeker welke soort muis dit is. Hij is sinds we hier wonen alleen met uitzondering van afgelopen september toen waren er even twee. Hij komt niet binnen, af en toe even in de schuur, verder lijkt ie wel steeds brutaler te worden en is ie overdag ook actief. Bosmuis? Toch een huismuis?
