Hey everyone! I've posted in the mouse forum B4 back in November when I found a mouse in the bottom of my trash bin at work. I kept him for a couple of days, but with the help and info everybody gave me, I let him go in a safe place and wished him luck. Ever sense then I've been debating on getting a litte guy and I finally made my decision...A pair of Chinese Dwarf's (The Boyz). I couldn't be happier! I've done research on the web and have been reading different threads, but any info/comments anyone would like to share would be great.
Thanks:)

Yup, that's them! I haven't come up w/ any names yet. I just got em on Wednesday, so we're still getting to know each other. I'm hoping they'll tell me what their names are-lol. But so far so good. They aproach my hand when I put in in the there, climb over it and all. The only thing I'm kinda worried about is their wire wheel. I read a couple of things about their tiny feet gettin caught in em. So I might hit up the pet store this weekend...

Definitely switch their wheel if its the dangerous kind! You can also duck tape cardboard over the ridges.

Duct tape huh? Ok. I'm gonna get em a plastic wheel anyway, but I'm in the process of building them a play area and I was weary of using tape because of the adhesive on it. I didn't want them to ingest it if it was dangerous.

Well, its not healthy if they ingest it. You can use just cardboard and kind of lace it in the wheel.

and lol, I didn't realize I put Duck instead of Duct.;)

Thanks everybody! They are so much fun. Every night we have play time. Got em a plastic wheel so their tiny feet won't get hurt. It's the silent wheel... love it! I've given them carrot and a little bit of apple in their diet (I heard not too much fruit though). Do they like lettuce? I want them to get a little bit of everything...
