I noticed you aren’t housing *TWO MALE MICE.* props.
Sneak diss??
Stfu
it’s ok to house males together! It’s ok I’ve done it before the only thing is when I was breeding them the 2 males tried humping each other which was real strange and also u can keep males with females after birth (if it’s the dad) virgin males will eat the babies but the dad mouse will help keep them warm
Tik tok trends And bettas you shouldn’t house males together because they’ll fight. It’s happened to me. They were in a big cage too.
Demon King I have a pair of brothers, I tried separating them once and it seriously stressed them. Usually only male littermates will get along. Buying two males that did not grow together is a baaaaaad idea. It also depends on their temperament
My mice always bury their wheels. And their toys. And their food. They bury everything😂🐁.
yeah mine burry their saucers ALL the time, which is why I always put one on the platform hahah
when i woke up today i didn't see their toys so i opens their cage and their toys and food owl were buried and they were underground too XD
Chancellor of Chaos mine burry the wheel and make tunnels using it so i feel bad taking it out to fix it
I have the same name as u. Desiree.
Desiree Chaos my mouse did that a lot, and peed everywhere.. it was a male.. lmao
I have 12 mice in my room here are there names
1. Squeak
2. Casper
3. Cloud
4. Nibbles
5. Jen
6. Patrick
7. Cheesey
8. Chuckey cheese
9. Jessica James
10. Jessica junior
11. Spot
12. Abbey
Like if you love mice/rats🐀🐁
@Brian Macias no but I love there vids!
I have a hamster named Cloud!
You have 12 mice and didn’t name any Stewart🤦🏼♀️
@@notafurry1018 o my word I love popularemmos
not a furry 101 I have 14!!! I love rats and mice
4:40 is when the actual video starts if anyone was wondering。
Tysm!🥺🥰🙂
THANK YOU OMG ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER
THANK YOU IT WAS SO AWFUL
You shoud do a mouse care video. You seem pretty confident with your set-up so you are probably good at caring for them.
She is not. Her tank is under the minimum requirements and some of the toys are very unsafe.
@@detectivejellysquish what’s the minimum for 3 then? Which toys are dangerous to use? Also she did say she was upgrading in the comments, and it’s not just that but the fact the way ppl figured out animal care is different then today.
@@rhiannajackson6283 try to avoid toys made from wood, most wood will mess with the upper respiratory system. Having woods chips for bedding is even more unsafe. A single male mouse needs a 10 gallon tank and 3 females would need 20 gallons. This seems like a lot, and it is.
@@detectivejellysquish well the bin does look over 20 but I may be wrong. aspen is actually safe to use, It’s the only wood type of bedding that is actually safe to use for small animals. you just gotta be aware that some brands have more dusty bedding then others. And there’s nothing wrong with wood toys as long as your aware what wood is not safe, and if the structure in general is ok to use
@@rhiannajackson6283 a lot of brands have too much dust to market it as "premium soft" so i avoid wood all together
I would just honestly say maybe more hanging toys? My 5 will always prefer playing on hanging toys than the toys on the floor.
But again, it’s nice to see a video on UA-cam that is a good cage for mice, there isn’t many around! Thank you!
Bird toys with the tissue paper stuff on it seem to always be a favorite for my mice. Good for chewing, moving, climbing, and my mice use the paper to nest with too!
Me a hamster mom: HOWWWWW THEY CAN BARELY WALK ON BEDDING AT ALL
Also me realizing mice are different than hamsters: ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I see hamster parents on every mouse video saying the cages are too crowded and the mice are suffering. It's nice to see someone be sensible about it :D
(not saying people with hamsters are dumb, just that many don't realise mice have different needs)
Miika thank you! (Ive noticed other hamster parents yelling at the mice parents so i try to calm them down by telling them mice have different needs)
It normally doesn't work because they yell back at me for "not doing my research"
That has happened to me as well. It's kind of sad to see people spreading misinformation about an animal they don't have any experience with.
i have hamsters and mice and the mice do like more clutter but hamsters like more clutter than what ppl think, they just need a bit of space between items
you’re such a good pet mom. i love you and your videos!
This was VERY helpful because i have a small animal rescue and i am making care sheets for the adopters to take home with their new pet! THANK YOU EMMA
Mckayla Silva for mice and rats you aren’t supposed to use aspen wood bedding! ❤️
where are you located?
Oh god please tell me you dont still have mice.. Please.. She did everything wrong in this video including using the most toxic bedding you can buy and nothing meets legal standards..
@@detectivejellysquish
Correct me if Im wrong. Im not very knowledgable about mice. But isnt Aspen fine. Its Pine and Cedar Shavings they shouldn't have.
@@ashlynnheller8400 all wood shavings have dust and domesticated mice dont do well with that
You are such a good pet mom, Emma. I love watching you pamper your babies.
I love how she spends literally 5 minutes explaining her air filter thing lmao
Hi Hi that was my requirement 🤷🏼♀️
I think it's important to mention that you mix their food with regular "petshop food" and pellets, since mice (and rats/hamsters etc) select their food which usually results in them not getting all the nutrients they need.
Petshop foods are usually just fillers (like corn) which isn't gonna keep your mouse healthy in the long run. Whereas pellets contain e-ve-ry-thing they need. So mixing them gives them the best of both worlds; treats and food at all times! :)
(Not educating you, just telling your fans in case some people don't know a lot about mice/rats)
Pretty lobster 💗🦐
lol
How sweet of you

The fact people feel they should apologise for their appearance for whatever reason is pretty awful to be honest.
Horses & Hammys Why would you be concerned about a stranger just being sunburnt...?
Little Red she doesn’t mean it like she actually hates it she’s just saying it, just like people apologize for having a cold
Alan Andrianov Sorry What?
Little Red you know, nvm
You're kind of a dumbass dude
My favourite part is when I’ve cleaned and anti-backed their cage and add a layer of absorbent pellets, paper shreddings and then hay! So satisfying to see them all clean and smelling fresh. Nothing nicer than seeing them investigate their new setup!
Actually it is the worst one can do. Mice need the smell of their group to feel home, without that smell they are stressed a lot and it can even couse fights among them. Maybe not in a very tiny enclousure like this one but as soon as you keep them in a real cage you should only clean sections and never everything in one go. Also mice will pee much more to get their smell back to "sign their home" and it will smell way more because of that. They don't do that if you only clean a part of it and leave them some used bedding.
ugh your uploading schedule is everything
Lizard Lover she uploads so often!
I really like the video, im getting mice for my girlfriend while she's on family vacay for thanksgiving this vid was helpful and joyfulluy humorous thanks
I just brought home a male mouse for my current female to breed with (I have a ball python) and named him Monkey. Unlike some other breeders, I love my mice. I'm working on moving my snake from her 40 gallon tank to a 75, and moving my female mouse into the 40 gallon tank so she's completely comfortable when she lives with Monkey. I'm also cleaning out a 10 gallon tank for a temp cage for Monkey until he settles in with Minnie (the female) since he's currently in a glass carrier. I took him out of a stressful situation. He was at a pet store (not a chain one) as a feeder, and he was in a 10 gallon with 20+ more adult mice. Poor babies
Edit: Monkey and Minnie are now living happily together in a 40 gallon tank!
Einin, did you feed the babies to your snake?!
I would like to know that too ^-^
Please get 2 females so they can support while the male is gone. I hope this helps😊
Wrigley The Dood That is usually the idea, yes. It’s more humane since you know exactly how the mice are being treated before feeding your snake
Video starts at 4:40 , thank me later :)
Thanks:)))
Videos start at 0:00 that’s how videos work lol
Thanks
Thx
Thanks like she talks alot not trying to be rude
Your pets must be living the life 🐁 ️ ❤️
Thanks for this video. I have a male mouse named Romeo and I love making him happy! I just got a bin for Christmas and im planning on using this video as a guide for how to set things up!
Awhhh I love all the mice running around their new clean home only delighted with life 😍
Sunburnt from going to the pet store 😂
I’m been so happy to look at my notifications and see you’ve pooped up 3 times in a row this week for posting 😱
Anaya Raya pooped up?
@@Miraaa4 I noticed that too. LOL
This is awesome! Love the cages, very creative and seem very stimulating for your mice 😋 Makes me miss all the pet mice I've ever had.. thinking about getting a new one soon 🐁
I just got two mice and watching this video is making me wanna go to the store again and break my bank by buying them all cool climbing and hiding spots like you have. Your a great mom for animals!
I love how many items you have for them to explore. They will not be bored! (I typically create a “starter” peephole in the middle of a toilet paper roll, as they typically want to gnaw the hole larger, and it is fun seeing the fuzzy snout peeping out.
It starts at 4:45
Mice:runs on wheel
Me:Why are you running!? Why are you running!? Why are you running?!
😂
My mice dont use their wheel
You look pretty without makeup
Sadly you cant buy hamsters in australia and when i found out it broke my heart
Lol doll Baby mice can be just as affectionate if not more so
I know, almost all the cute pets are banned and stuff 😫
Mice are also very cute just sayin
I know but my mum hates mice
Lol doll Baby You can’t own hamsters in Australia?
Just got a mouse today i got the wooden house u have and he absolutely loves it
Don’t mind me! I’m just a dog/cat/guinea pig parent watching a “How to set up a mouse cage” video :)
I'm a dog/cat/hamster/ fish/ bird/chicken/cow
Early crew. I love you so much. You inspire me too live my dream of just going for it and loving animals. Thank you your the best
Could you mame them a big diy cage and make a video about it! I know they will like the bigger Space to run around in!
Lauren Frazier I do want to get them a bigger cage in the future!
Emma Lynne Sampson if you did could it be a diy video because when I get my mice I want to make a diy and I think the video will help!
Video starts at 4:40
Omg I love how much u care for ur mice👍🏽
Hey I was wondering where you got the plastic tunnel, the house, and those bridges? Thanks!
This video gave me a great idea on how to setup my mouses cage! Thanks!👏👏
You look so nice without any makeup!!!! Love you and your channel!
You rock Emma I love watching you videos everyday and I like learning about the different animals you have and hope one day to meet you 👍🏻👍🏻
hiii! I love the cage setup! If I were you, I would add deeper bedding just because its hard to make burrows in only a few inches. I would also try to add more hanging toys, as well a softer hay like orchard grass because timothy hay is very rough and it can poke your mouse in the eye and hurt it. No hate!!! :D
I used that exact same plastic bin when I caught a wild mouse and didn't want it to stay in the trap the whole night. Chewed it's way out through the handle holes by morning and had to trap it all over again. :-)
Hi where did you get the bin from ?! And does it come with the lid? I’ve been looking for one for so long 🙏🏼🙏🏼
How big is this bin?
Omg I have been using the levoit for 8 months now (turned on 24 hours a day) it works awesome.
This was very helpful!
I bought two more mice as companions for my other mouse and turns out one of the two mice i bought was a boy. Now I have a mamma mouse that just gave birth and another female mouse that is going to have her babies any day now 😬
So I have to separate the boy but I didn’t want to buy another $100 cage so yeah, this was extremely helpful for me and the circumstances I’m in.
(If you’re wondering, my mamma mouse had a litter of 4, not sure the gender yet)
Where is the plastic bin from??🙏🏼🙏🏼 and love your set up your mice are living the best life 😍❤️❤️
Skip till 5 minutes she will show you how to do the cage
I have two mice named Susie and Pipa, only had them for around 9 days but they're already pretty tame and love to be held despite not being held before at the shelter and they were super shy for the first few days. I love them so much but they are smelly😂
Those are nice! Do you make your top and side vents? How do you make them? Maybe you could do a video on that? 😊
I’m adopting two mice next week. I’ve done tons of research but still which me luck !!
Hey girl could you do a mouse care video I just got 2 and would love to see more of your input in there care and diet
Thanks in advance
I would recommend adding more bedding into your enclosure.
This was a great video! All of their necessities here ❤️
Hopefully getting my new miceys on Tuesday! So so excited
I have this 6ft by 3ft by 2ft tank that I was using for my beardie that sadly passed away and I'm going to make it into a fun filled natural looking enclosure for 3 female mice!! Do you find the aspen dusty?? Also what food do you use?
she’s probably not gonna answer bc this video is more than 2 years old😔
@@magbelyleal2227 😔😔
Aspen are dusty in my opinion. You could sift the dust and they are good to go. For her food it's Higgins Sunburst and mazuri rat mouse block
So cute! Where did you get the colorful, almost tube like, thing from? I love the idea of that being buried with only the holes showing!
I recommend you put some tall driftwoods in since they can’t climb that much. Drift wood is really nice looking and they can use their tails. That’s just my own little input for when I had mice. Great video! Love your geckos too
Great set up
my hedgehog died today and i’m considering getting a couple mice to fill the void so thank you
This is the exact situation I’m going through right now 💔
Love videos like this 😲💓🙌😘
I love your pets! Their so cute!
wow i love your set up :)
If i have 2 pet mice do i need 2 wheels/saucers for them? x
Yes
No. I have 2 big wheels they only go to the same wheel like the other mice. They exercise together
What brand is the bin? It looks so big and spacious!
& size!!
Great video much love as always x
Awww! Your mice are so adorable! Could I ask what size bins you use? I would love to try something like this!
It is to small
I really like the “underground tunnel” cube thingy, where did you get it?
They’re available online or at petco usually
what size saucer wheels do you use? what sizes are safe?
I love your videos! (I’m the hundredth comment) I have two female gerbils and this gives me some good ideas for them. I’m kind of nervous that I’m going to have to give them away in there senior years because my college won’t allow them. :( I know I have a place for my crested gecko who would give her back once I am done with school, and I can bring my betta at least, but I would have to downsize to a 5 gallon and I would feel super bad :( anyway, enough about me. Keep up the great work!!!!!
My mice bury everything. My females bury all their hides, their food, and the base of their wheels. Same with one male, and my other two males are on fleece bedding (different cages) , but they still figure out how to pull up the layers, and hide stuff. Don't keep mice on fleece if you don't have too, it's a pain.
Wow.. I'd live in a cage like that! :D
great video! also i wanted ask u were do u get your pets mice? i got mine from a petstore sadly. but i. don't have any other options
Where did you get your mice?
I also suggest Care Fresh bedding!!
While I’m at school should I put a lamp or something for my mice? I know there nocturnal but I still don’t know.
So nice! So much for them to do!
LOVE YOUR VIDS😍😍😍
First Like 😁😁IL your videos SM
What size bin do you use hun? Im thinking about getting some mice 🐭
110 quart!
Emma Lynne Sampson thank you very much
My mouse just had 4 babies. I have no clue what I need to do. I have a few videos up on my channel. I would love your input of what I need to to to care for the babies and momma. Thanks for all the info
Would a critter trail be fine for a mouse ( I know it’s horrible for hamsters ) so I’m just wondering cause I’m getting some mice tomorrow
in my opinion crittertrails are still to small for mice as they're extremely active animals!
What size bin would you recommend? I have my hamster in what I think is a 110 or 120 qt. Sterilite bin. But within the last week, I adopted one male mouse. He's temporarily in a 10 gallon aquarium, but I want to get him all set up in a spacious bin. I was thinking the same size as my hamster, but still learning about the requirements and preferences of mice.
In many videos I saw, it says that mice need a MINIMUM space of 200 square inches per mouse.
I really love mice, can they use wheels?
Yes! They’re super active, and will use wheels plenty!
thanks 😃 i currently own zero mice, just rabbit guinea pigs and a hamster, but i would absolutely love having mice!
can you keep just 1 or do you have to have 2
Your mice are so adorable! What are the bin sizes that you’re using? I really want to get a mouse and comparing bins now.😊🐁🐹🐭
I use 110 quarts!
Emma Lynne Sampson Thank you! What do you use for your male mouse?
What glue did you use on the platform?
How big is the bin you’re using? I wanted to get a bin so I could have mice but I’m completely confused about what size a bin I should get.
I believe the minimum square inches for mice is 360,so as long as its bigger then that it's fine :)
I love your videos I aspire to be a good pet youtuber I have 4 pet rats and I’ve also been looking to get an air purifier for them
Do you change the layout of the cage? Wondering for my new mouse Zac who’s about a month old and he’s flying around like a trapeze artist
Thanks!
Thank you so so so much, in the future I'm getting 2.
I love your videos! I have a similar set up for my gerbils :)
What are the dimensions of the bin? Idk if you said it in the vid but if you did, I probably missed it. Great vid btw
Loved your cage
Those are called the puzzle playground
Sponsor starts at 0:40 ends at 4:40 thank me later ;)
I got these block wooden chews and my mouse hasnt used them i have 4 spread threw his home
ik this is a super old video but i was wondering what you use to hang the suspension bridge ??
On my mouses back there is a cut/sore I'm going to clean out his cage tomorrow I was wondering if anything like this has ever happened before, I'm trying my best!😥
What size bin is this I’m upgrading my mice soon and was wondering how big it is?
