Hi guys! Sorry I completely forgo to upload this, with everything that happened with the pets recently I forgot I'd filmed this, it was filmed a month or so ago, unfortunately Opal has passed away since then but it's nice to see her in some of these clips. Hope the video is helpful :)
I’m so sorry about Opal :( may she have a lovely life with all her friends wherever she may go..
Omg I’m so sorry🥺 2020 really is the worst. She will be greatly missed❤️🥺😔xx
Omg I’m so sorry🥺 2020 really is the worst. She will be greatly missed❤️🥺😔xx
Im sorry for recent losses ❤stay strong x
I am so sorry about Opal :( At least she had an amazing life!
I always meet wild mice on my walks in the forest and your enclosure really reminds me of that environment :) I know you can't compare wild animals to pets, but seeing your mice explore this lovely home you made for them is almost like watching my friends in the forest crawl through leaves and run along branches on the ground!
That’s so cool! What country do you live in?! I live in a Australia and in the city so the only mice I see that aren’t mine are the ones living behind our sink 🤣😆
It was so cute when you were holding all of your mice! 🐭
Awe I’m in the first few seconds and I already have a cutest overload ❤️
Cuteness*
YAY I have been saving up for mice I’m so happy to see this! 🐭❤️✨
Ok but do a lot of re-search lol I can see you have been doing some already if not a lot :) I just got my girls like two months ago and I didn't get them the right size cage but I have enough to upgrade to a 40-50 gallon tank so hopefully soon! God luck with your mice!!!
I'm waiting until I move to get 3 females. Felicity Ann and Aspen that's what their names are going to be
Same lol i cant wait to get them
@@jaspersjostrom8504 omg the name aspen is so cuteee
I am too!!
Seeing opal is making me sad! But seeing her is actually really nice
🐀🐾 R.I.P Opal
I loved the video! My kitten really liked it too. He was watching it and purring and the he went to sleep. Lol. Bruno is sending some kitten kisses over your way 😊.
Cool..the kittens 🐱 will be making good friends with the mice 🐁 and the puppies 🐶 too
I love how you dont add punctuation to the end of video titles and dont clickbait us also love that you use a general neutral voice and tone.
Love you Emi❤
5:35 is so cute with you holding all of the mice!
This was an amazing video, and I'm sorry for your loss. On a happier note, do you think you could make a similar video for rats? I know you have gone over a lot of information, but could you make a specific video about it? Thank you for being you, and keep doing what you're doing.
wow i literally watched all ur mice videos today because im getting mice, such great timing haha
Romy awe I hope you enjoy them! I have a complete cage now and all I have to do is find some local mice breeeders
Aww same but I haven't gotten mine yet
I really enjoy watching these types of videos, I'd love to see some more mouse cage cleaning videos in the future! Sorry to hear about Opal 💕
For everybody in the netherlands you can buy the exact same bedding in Ranzijn 😊
I live in NZ and have one male mouse. Lots of these things aren't available where I live but this has opened to my eyes to the fact his cage isn't good enough. Its all wire - thank you for your content!
I don’t understand how u don’t have more followers I love u cuz u helped me give my mice their best life
Those few dislikes are from moms that disapprove of you getting a rats or mice
Hi! I’m definitely gonna get a rat when I grow up your helping me learn a lot about rats this year love you
you’ve helped me so much with my mice. thank you. you really helped me give them a good life. may god bless you
I could watch videos like this the whole day😁 It's so calming. A lot of the things you have for your cage, I bought for my mice, too. And I bought them this little white/pink mouse (cat toy). Hope they will like and use it when I finally get it. Love your videos.
160th like!!! Your mice are all so cute! I'm getting a hamster on Wednesday (she's a long haired Syrian named Willow) so it's been nice watching a video all about mice as I've been doing so much hamster research lately and it's nice to learn all about different animals as well! ♥😂
Remember. 450++square inches of space! And a huge wheel!
My four girls love their Ikea detolf!
I JUST LOVE HOW ITS SO NATURAL AND THEN THE POP OF COLOR FROM THE PINK WHEELS J LIKE F THIS THEME 😂
yayyyy thank you soooo much ! I am getting the ikea detolf for them too ans im getting 5 mice so thank you so much 💗
Do I own mice or rats? No. Do I ever plan on it? No. Are rats illegal where I live? Yes. Am I subscribed to this channel and watch these videos? You bet!
I'm getting mice today, and this is helpful! Thanks!
They are so cuteeeee
The mice look ECSTATIC! So happy and cute little guys!
this was so helpfull, im getting 4 mice for my birthday and i want the perfect home for them
❤
Thank you thinking of getting mice after the pandemic really helpful ❤️🐁😊
I like this tutorial - altough heavy stones resting on the bedding are not the safest choice. They could collapse on the mice if they burrow under them. Always best to have heavy decorations standing directly on the bottom of the enclosure.
But still, I think these detolf cages are cool. Pretty low though, a topper would add more vertical space. Mice do live to climb.
PS -- I want a Boggle Buddy t-shirt! 😂😂
I just went to adopt a male mouse I felt sorry for at my local humane society and when I got there I found out he had two brothers. What could I do? I took them all and had to run out and get 2 more cages. Within 10 minutes of putting them in their cages, they were running on their wheels, furnishing their little houses with fluff, having a snack, and taking naps. I've had rats before but never mice so I'm finding your vids very helpful!
I'm sorry about Opal. I just recently got 2 baby rats and got all my information from you ! thank you for making awesome videos!!
I adopted my first mouse today!
I've spent the last week watching all your mouse videos and it's been super helpful.
Remember female mice NEED to be in groups or pairs! :)
I love it when I see that you’ve posted a new video! It makes me so happy! 😊🐾
Where do you get the bedding from? And how much is it? I’m getting 3 boy rats and we were thinking of using that bedding. X❤️ love your videos so much, you’re the best!🥰🥰
I currently can't find this bedding for sale anywhere atm, but I got a different hemp bedding on zooplus thats good
Emiology thank you! I like zooplus it’s a very good website!❤️
I buy it from "carcroft pet supplies" from £20. I've never used it as the base bedding, just a later on top as I find it to be a bit dusty for my roborovskis, but it does last a while and is very affordable for the size
anyone have a good site/place for the us?
SmallPaws Collie thanks!
Any suggestions on mice that like to chew the floor of the cage? Really cautious about getting any wooden etc toys incase they to try and eat that too.
They have tonnes of cardboard tubes, boxes etc but yea
With the detolf the flooring is glass so they can't chew it. Don't worry about wooden toys they're meant to be chewed, mice and rats grind everything down into a small dust and they're smart enough to know not to swallow it :)
@@Emiology 😱 really, I always worried that they'd eat it, guess I'm too used to having dogs and cats which are kinds idiots in comparison 😅😅
I really do need to upgrade my girls to a detolf just all my sides I have atm are all different heights or not quite long enough grrr 🤣
Either that or a longer vivarium, then it could just be put on the floor 🤔🤔
Rest In Peace Opal :(
So cute! I’m glad you give them a lot of space! I always wanted to own a colony of mice but I can never find fancy one only feeder mice 🐭 I’m happy though I currently have 4 females rats soon I will be adding a 5th she was just born yesterday so won’t get her for awhile but very excited 😊 as always love watching your videos
thanks for this video! i just got my 2 girls a week ago!
Omg I’m hoping to get mice and this is very helpful!
I was wondering what you think of open fronted cages?
I've seen some people who have an open front that relighs on the mice natural instinct not to fall which really interests me bit I am of course worried something could happen.
Is this something anyone knows anything about?
I’ve seen people do this but I don’t think I would. They have good depth perception but I’ve had one mouse launch off the side of my cage luckily into my hand
today i am building my ikea detolf cage for my 3 females. I eventually want more but for now they’ll be living lavishly :)
OmG when I was cleaning my mice cage I saw that 1 of my mice jumped out of there bin (waiting) cage thankfully she is tame so I can just pic her up but I never seen my mouse jump and i already have her 1.5 years lol (we made a lid rn
Never ceases to amaze me. Such characters
Awww! At 5:35, they are so cute!! I love them!!!
Why do u only have a few likes. U deserve so much more 🥺💓
Yaya, happy to have found this! I'm hoping to get two female mice when I move and (finally) have my own room. I really want to make sure I give them a good life so this video is helpful. :) I'm going to try and do as much research as I can so when I do move, I'll be prepared to give them a good home
I love this setup!
Every time I put something cool in the cage they destroy everything 😭
Mice=destruction
omg your mice are all soooo adorable!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great vvideo as always!! could you do one for rats too? xoxo
Yeah, I am getting rats in two weeks! It would be nice if you did one of these for rats as well.
I love the setup! It looks so nice and fun for them 💕 may I ask your opinion on tank sizes for different mouse quantities? I keep wanting to upgrade at the same time that I think they have enough space. But I’m not a big UA-camr and I know that people have different opinions, but I thought that you might know since you own so many mice and are so experienced with them :3 (thank you if you take the time to respond!! 😊)
I’d say minimum for 2-3 mice 20 gal, 3-4 mice 40 gal, 5-6 a 60 gal plus. Personally I wouldn’t use anything smaller than 40 gal for any mice ☺️
Emiology thank you! 😊 currently I am left with one mouse. (Getting two more ASAP!) I had three, two passed. I originally had them in a habitrail ovo, which I realized was my mistake, so after about a week I decided to buy a 20 gallon, which is what my one female is in for the moment. I will look into upgrading them, but for now do you think a 20 gallon will please them?
Very nice setup! But I heard that it's dangerous to put heavy things like stones on top of the soil because they can dig under it. I dont know if its true but just in case it is and you didnt know😅❤
im feeling guilty about not having a huge cage like you, i have a 70x40x45cm cage, is this okay?
Yes that's just above the minimum for a few mice :)
Wow this mouse cage is amazing 🐭 I love the background of this set up, all the fun ropes and cute hides. Your mice are so adorable and so lucky to have such a great mom❤️
I am so jealous of your mouse care. I have a 36 x 12 cage with a homemade lid and well it is not strong enough to hold hanging toys. I have been trying to upgrade for a while but haven't gotten to it yet. Hope you are doing well!
Hi could you include a list of where you purchased the supplies
Hi so im going to be getting mice in one to two weeks and was wondering what size of a cage for two mice do you recommend
How are my babies (rats) doing? I do LOVE your rat videos. They make me so happy.
My first tim coming early to any videos
What a great space!
"Recycled tea bag bedding" has got to be the most British thing I've heard in a long time.
😂😂😂
Amazing setup!
I would love to know where you got a lot of the things you use in your cage! I love the look of it.
Really beautiful set up, and your mice are just precious!
Thanks this is super helpful I’m hoping to get mice 🐭 soon 😁
Amazing enclosure 🤩👏❣
Your cage is so cute! Love it
Hey I have a really awesome question. I'm trying to not spend as much money. So I know you explained the bedding but can I add that white bedding for the whole thing??
Hi emi just wondering how often you fully clean and spot clean your detolf btw great vid✨🌝
I have a video on that ☺️
I am so sorry I just realised that but btw even though I can’t see u I still think it cool that you answered my question I’ve been bragging about it to my friends
Where did you buy those wonderful pink wheels?
your mice are so adorable!
The enclosure looks lovely :) I usually dont like stickers, but yours look very cute!
Same I have pittakionophobia aka phobia of stickers and sticky things 😷
I’ve been wondering for a while if I can give my male mouse a small tub of water for the hot days or is there a problem with the oils in their fur so could he get a sand bath
Thanks! This was very helpful
What kind of tank is that. It looks modular
0:45
How often would you have to clean an enclosure of that size, and what does cleaning entail (like do you completely change of all of the bedding and wash the structures/toys/equipment, and if you do wash them, is it with detergent or will that be harmful, etc.)?
Do you change the layout? Wondering for my new mouse Zac who lives in a 40 gallon tank
Yep
How do you make the top?
How do you clean all the wooden toys/hides/ladders, etc?
what do you use for the roof of the enclosure? im hoping to get some mice soon and while ive done a lot of research i wanna make sure i do the absolute best for them lol
Great video!! I've just got a group of 8 females🙈 housed in a 4ft tank they are great!! I'll definitely add more of the aubiose as they do love to dig. Any tips on taming? Thankyou 😊
Loving your video with organisations for your pet mice 🐁 if I had a son or a daughter that loves mice 🐁 and other pets such as cats 🐈 dogs 🐕 & the rabbits 🐇
Is the plant pot house bought like that or did you diy it? Trying to find something like this for the 5 girls I'm getting soon xx
This was so helpful! Thank you Emi!
I know this is an old video but I'm new to mice and was wondering if you have any tips to set up glass enclosures/tanks for mice particularly on how to attach water bottles and hanging toys as mine has a high lid and is an old aquarium , thanks!
I use industrial Velcro for water bottles ☺️
Im wondering, how do you clean all your wooden toys so they arent stinky?
Can you buy moss from the dollar store and put it in there there tank ?🐭 I love your videos so much
Can we please have one of these for rats xxx😚🐀
Ahhh!im so exited im setting my detolf tommorow! Love the vids keep up the good work!❤
i have a question my female mouse (with the respiratory infection)need to live 1 month alone bc we went to the vet for some new antibiotics but the vet said that's its better to have her alone for a time thankfully we have a extra cage but my question is how can a make her not feel lonely and bored? ps love you
Why does she need to be alone? All mice are more with mycoplasma so you don’t need to keep her alone so they won’t catch it. It will only stress her out and possibly make her illness worse by housing her alone ☹️
@@Emiology okay thank you :)
Hello I wanted to ask if using only hay as bedding for mice is fine
No it’s not absorbent enough it will smell very quickly
Thank you so much!
Am i the only person who like immediately?!
Have you the link for stickers please?
can you use shredded paper for bedding?
I love ur UA-cam channel 🥺👍😜
I’m new! And early!
Aww your mice are so cute 💙
Do you ever have problems with your wheels moving around? My mouse freaks out when his wheel moves beneath his feet. :( I’ve had trouble getting it to stay down!
How do hang ropes on a bin cage?
