Mum...I got a new Pet!

**Caution** Don't read if you can't stand mice!

About 2 weeks ago my gorgeous, very cute and friendly mouse died. It was very sudden and I was rather sad.

That Saturday I ventured down to the pet shop... They only had two mice! I felt so sorry for Barnabas I had to bring him home with me. He's full grown and very skittish. He's really not so keen on people so it's taking ages to tame him. Unfortunately he didn't replace my poor little Ted.

Barnabas

Barnabas will be going to school when the term starts again...and staying there as a class pet.

Then I found someone willing to sell me a couple of baby girl mice very cheaply. Yay! They're babies so they'll like me? But I needed a new cage for them. So I went to the other pet store...and they had so many mice. We watched them for ages. And then we saw the cutest little fella. Nick had to have him.

Theodore the 2nd

Yes he named him Ted again...much to our 5 year old nephews disappointment (No no no he's not Ted). Ted is Nicks mouse. The first night he was at home, Nick actually put a heater on in the room Teds cage is in...He was worried he would be too cold!

I actually rang mum saying Nick bought a new pet, she started panicking that Nick had bought a puppy! 

Then I got my girls. They were just too cute...I couldn't choose...

How could you separate that!

Lucky the cage I'd bought for them was a nice big cage!

I know some people, ok a lot of people really can't stand mice, but I love them. I don't think I'd be keen on owning a rat though! Mice are cute and little, they don't take up much room or need to much looking after. They're friendly, well most mice are and they're inexpensive. The mice was $4....the puppy I wanted was $600...
