 | Mice...oh dear.. |
Mez       Ultimate Fish Guru Asian Hardfeather Enthusiast Posts: 3300 Votes: 162 Registered: 23-Feb-2001   | Well. I dont take any responsibilty for this, but my girlfriend decided she would like some Spiny Mice that were for sale from a friend. *sigh* After getting the pair of female spiny mice for free, she then spent £60 on a vivarium for them so they could be nicely displayed. I *honestly* thought they were going to go to the polecat ot the snakes, but aparantly they irritate the throats.. *sigh* Here are some photos, i realise the photos are poor, but they were taken at night with flash  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Trappedme http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Trappedme  |

| Mez Ultimate Fish Guru Asian Hardfeather Enthusiast Posts: 3300 Votes: 162 Registered: 23-Feb-2001 | No rodents need a wheel - in the tiny cage they were kept in they had a wheel, then decided it would make good chewing matter. They chew that wood - and run all over it. me |
