My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gobbler is a golden mouse born in March 2018 and he's now ready for adoption. He may be a variety of satin mouse. He is young enough right now to share a cage with his brothers, but that probably won’t last much longer. Gobbler is quite sure that someone has hidden treats in in their hands (actually, they do!).

Like most mice, he warms up when handled regularly and seems to enjoy the attention. While it’s true that male mice are more…strongly scented that female mice, there are ways to manage this issue and Gobbler is definitely worth learning more about these techniques.

If you would like small, curious companions please check out the mouse care sheet at http://www.smallangelsrescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/SARI-Mouse-Care-Sheet-2016.pdf. More detailed information concerning handling and behavior is available here https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/rodents/mice/health/-/articleName/CAD_Mice_Health_and_Welfare .

*Female mice may be kept in pairs or groups. Male mice will fight to the death almost all the time and are best kept as single pets. Adoption Fee: $10.00. Gobbler is fostered in Columbia, MD.

Indoor homes only.
