Bacchus Residents

Adoption: We adopted Evelyn with 4 friends - Enid, Ethel, Mavis, and Doris. We hadn't owned house mice in a long time, and we could see how much their care, medicine, and husbandry had changed over the last 20 years. So, we thought we'd adopt some house mice to live at our home facilities so we could get some up to date experience with them. The Mischief: Back when we had house mice in the late '90s, to our knowledge, it was more or less unheard of to perform an orchiectomy on male mice.  We decided to neuter one of the male house mice to join the mischief of females. So, Evelyn and her mischief later made friends with Barry. The other male mouse went on to live with multimammates (we will do a post about him one day). Around about this time, a lone female house mice who'd been living with hamsters (don't recommend doing that) arrived at Hamster Haven. Vicky and I agreed to bond the lone mouse - then called Evie - to our mischief as well. In fact, as Notts Nibblers ...

Timothy Q. Mouse: Timothy Q. Mouse was adopted from the phenomenal micro-rescue, Tiny Paws MCR . Sometimes, even we have to adopt animals in need. Of course, Timothy will stay as a permanent resident within our permanent mischief of domesticated house mice.  You can follow us on social media, Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter For more information about us, check out our website You can donate to us via our Paypal , Hay Experts Wishlist , and our Amazon Wishlist For any other enquiries, please email bacchusresidents@outlook.com Timothy is a neutered male mouse. Tiny Paws MCR decided to neuter him after he started fighting with the other males within his family. Once they'd decided he couldn't safely live amongst male mice, and it was unlikely they'd find female multimammates, it was within his best interest to be neutered.

Barry and Blake arrived here as two cohabiting male mice, they were already bickering by the time they arrived here, so we decided to separate them. We decided they'd be happier living amongst females. In the wild, male mice wouldn't usually share a territory - even with siblings once sexually mature. All mice, however, are social creatures. Again, in the wild, male mice would be living amongst females freely reproducing. In captivity, you'd soon be overrun with mice if you allowed them to breed freely.  In rare cases, you can house two male mice together, although, it's generally recommended that only experienced keepers do so and that they're prepared split both mice if fighting occurs.  Many keepers advise against housing male mice together. Although we'd researched mice nearly as much as other small animals, we hadn't owned mice in over a decade. We saw Barry and Blake as the perfect opportunity to expand and refine our practical mice exp...
