Meet the Newest, Little Additions to our Family!

Who is peaking out of her new Carnival Play Barn? It's our sweet, little mouse, Peanut Butter!

And here is her sister, Cupcake! Named for the sprinkle on her head. We bought our fancy mice at Petsmart a couple of weeks ago. We had mice before and we loved them, but they passed away when we had them for about 3 years. Mice are the most wonderful pets. They are sweet, easy to take care of, and have fun little personalities. During my childhood, and while taking care of mice with my own children, never once has a pet mouse bitten me. They are sweet, charming little pets.

While we anticipated adopting our mice, I ordered this Small Animal Play Barn from Chewy.com. We didn't want white feeder mice (you know, the kind you often see in stores) so I called around until we found a place that sold Fancy Mice, which "fancy" as they may be, only cost about $5 each. Girl mice are best, as they live longer and don't have the odor boys do.

Cupcake and Peanut Butter's new Play Barn is great for any small animals and came so stuffed with hay that I had to take 2/3 of it out and save for later. They love their barn, running and playing in it for hours! And it only costs about $7! The mice can't wait til I order them some more goodies from Chewy.com!
