Napkin holder would make a wonderful hanging/swinging platform. Same with the seagrass baskets. I could see fixing them to the wall by the bottom of the basket and having a series of "tire" shaped seagrass hides on the wall of the cage
hi emi!! I recently got two female mice, and i love them to bits. your videos have been super helpful!!! i was wondering if you have noticed that female mice are less inclined to run on their wheels than males are? i had a male before my two girls, he was constantly running on his wheel, but these girls have barely touched their wheel. i have given them different size options and type options but have yet to see them run on any of them lol has this been the case for your female mice as well?
It could be a lot of things Maybe they were bought from somewhere where they didn't have wheels and aren't used to them? My female likes to run on her wheel at night so maybe it could be that they use it when you're sleeping too. It could also be that they might not have any enrichment other than their wheel (which is very boring for your mice and causes them to not want to do anything)
Hi! I have been watching your vids for a while now, and you're the main reason I decided to get mice! 😊 I love them so much and your vids are great! :D
One of my older rats has a mammary gland tumor and we have to get it removed and I've been stressing that, but your videos make me feel better so thank you! Wish my baby luck!
I LOVE the small Variera shelves! (3:16) You can't really see how they work in this video, but they come with screws so you can put two of them together to make a tall but very stable platform for the mice. I use it for some climbing space, and also put the water bowl on top of it far from the bedding. They also have the handy holes in them, so the pee can drop right through and it smells less :P
Thank you for the video. We have the same problem where our mice bury their wheel, so I liked your wheel base idea from this video. My little girls really enjoy your videos too and it inspires them to take even better care of their mice.
Thank you so much❤ you never fail to impress me with all your new content and you are by far my favourite UA-camr and pet channel and I am obsessed with all your merch your shop and your videos I am hoping to soon be a member of your channel and I have just brought a ton of stuff from your shop for my mice!❤❤❤
this is perfect timing since im going to ikea next weekend to get a few things for the rats! loved the video as usual, i actually have the linmon cage (1072 sq inch one) and me and the mice love it! looking forward to that video. will definetly pick up a few of the things you mentioned :)
Just about to go to ikea and remembered seeing this video and I have been needing a new house for the mice, so you can see how perfect this video was for me XD
Thanks for the video! The next time when I am at Ikea, I will definitely looking for some of these things. And I can't wait to see your new cage. Please, hurry! 😁😁😁
I get really scrathced from my rats, i tryed to cut their nails but it didn’t work out. I got too scared when they squeaked and just let them be. But is filing them as good?
Maybe think about getting a lava ledge you can put under they're bottle and it will act as a natural file for their claws but if they're still quite long you're going to have to cut them or if you're too scared maybe get someone else to 😊
I raised their water bottle and placed a brick under it, good for catching drips but also helps with their nails as they have to climb on it everytime they want a drink so ensures they use it. I got a new single brick from Wickes for about 80p as it was broken in half. Worked a treat.
Will you be doing cage reactions again at any time? I've been doing a lot of cage reactions for people on tiktok. I've finally got my cage how I want it haha
Can you please do a video on mouse diet? I'm getting mice for the first time in a few weeks from now and am trying to research what to give them, but lots of websites say different things! I'm not sure what to feed them!!!
Hiiii, I know that this is really late and has no relation this video, but I felt like I should share it. In school we were doing a which one doesn’t belong. The 4 options on the screen were Dog, Cat, Rabbit, and Rat. In the chat, everyone was typing their answers. So many people said that rats are not cute, or rats are ugly, they are disgusting, dirty, normal rats are disgusting, their scary, and much more mean things about rats. I was sooo sad that I started to cry. So for my answer, I put rats because they are the most misunderstood and mistreated pet. It’s just terrible what people think and assume about rats & mice just because of rumors, and because they aren’t a popular pet. No one is going to say something bad about dogs, or cats but when it comes to rodents people say such mean things without even check if what they said is true or not. Rats and mice are amazing pets, but so many people don’t know this because they just assume things. Sorry that this is super long, I just felt like I should share this.
I use the NYPLOCKAD dish holder for my hamster, i put some food or (rarely) peanut butter on the sticks and then she tries to get it down, occasionally when I am rearranging the enclosure I flip it upside down and put a board on it and either put more bedding and nesting material around it so she will use it to start to borough or use it as a platform
This question is for anyone who can answer it. I’m building a new enclosure for my male mouse out of repurposed materials and it’s currently 15x80 in. A local guinea pig rescue has taken in a male mouse and he’s now available. if i divide this into two sections of 15x40 in would i need to caulk the center divider so there’s less stress on the mice? all sides of the enclosure (aside from the back) will be solid on the bottom 6in and wire mesh on the top for ventilation and light.
If you put plastikote on a ledge or perch can you still clean it with vinegar and water mixture or will that ruin the plastikote you put on it? And sorry for all the questions I’ve been asking.
Yep! That's usually the recommended type of substrate for this purpose. Just make sure, by checking the label, that it doesn't have any pesticides or chemicals, etc. added to it.
I have been trying so hard to see if anyone near me if selling, rehoming, or breeding mice, as I have been looking into mice a bit more seriously, but freakin no one doing any of that lives within an hour of my general area, and considering I still rely on my working parents to drive me that’s not really much of an option, I have seen mice at like at one pet store in horrid conditions since they were feeders, none being sold as pets (of course I can buy them as pets but I don’t really want to do that) I might have seen some at pet supplies plus, I have seen some at petco, and 2 really adorable ones at Petsmart, but I have never seen mice as pets or know of people who own them or anything, it is so annoying because I want mice, but I don’t want to get the mice from the store, but apparently no one in my area does either, or at least no one wants to get rid of them
I got my two boys today. I got a mealworm and put it through the top on the lid, he quickly jumped at me. I’m not sure why he did that so if anyone knows please tell me.
They should just make an IKEA Pets where it’s all pet products and pet related furniture and pet “diys” (products we see as diys, but they make them products). Could be interesting but would also ruin the fun of going out and scavenging around for secret pet products 😂
HELP! This is the story of my mice (I NEED URGENT ADVICE). So I was at the pet store getting things for my dog when I saw these two female fancy mice. They seemed so cute so I set up a cage and went back to get them(even though I know we shouldn't get them at Petco). I brought them home and they were doing fine until I noticed genitals on one of them. I called the pet store and took the male mouse back. I was super stressed and didn't know what to do but the Petco took him back and apologized. I was planning to get another female mouse form the same store but they didn't have anymore so I drove to Petsmart. They had females there so I picked one up. I started the introduction process but my original female mouse was still getting builed and they were in constant fights. For a few days it seemed like just little fights but one day I noticed my old mouse have a bald spot with lumps and blood. I carefully took the steps of disinfection the wound and treating it and found another home for the new/bully mouse. Now my female is all alone and doesn't seem to be burrowing. She seems really sad and I hope she's healing. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!!?
Sorry to hear this. I’m not sure what to do about your mouse. But hears a question that’s not related to the behavioral issues. Could she be pregnant? Because of the male?
@@vickyr2909 She doesn't show any signs like gaining weight or sides pertruding (etc) but im not 100% we are keeping a close watch and giving her lots of nesting materials but she doesn't seem to be burrowing and is sleeping on her wheel.
I love going to Ikea for items for my pets! How did you deal with rat scratches? my chest and arms have tiny cuts from their sharp nails! i am going to file their nails. how did you deal with the scratches?
I have a roof tile and a brick near the foodbowl, so their nails wear down a bit while walking over it. I picked some that aren't very rough, so it's not abrasive for their feet. I guess Stones would also work. For the scratches I get time to time I use zinc ointment to help it heal quicker. :)

Thank you it means a lot 💖

I loved the video! I can't wait to see the new cage build!! And your hair looks sooooo good! I love it!!
Amazing video! Thanks
Amazing!! I'm going to be making the linnmon too soon! I'm using the 120x60 tabletops for an even bigger cage! I can't wait to have mice :)

I use the cissan for my gerbils they love to chew it and they also sleep in it!!

Yes I love these IKEA videos!
Yesssssss ikea spreeeee
I gotta say everything on here is a must-have and gave me a reason to go to IKEA. I like the jars 1:20 way more than I thought I would
I wish I had ikea closer to me. The closest one is 3 hours away
Emma Workowski same! We don’t have any really close to us. But we can’t order online, because we don’t want to pay that much for the shipping!
Hi emi! I lov ikea but my mother hates it! 💜🐹🐾🦋
This question is for anyone who can answer it. I’m building a new enclosure for my male mouse out of repurposed materials and it’s currently 15x80 in.

Very nice
all the items are so ideal .
If you put plastikote on a ledge or perch can you still clean it with vinegar and water mixture or will that ruin the plastikote you put on it? And sorry for all the questions I’ve been asking.
Hi emi can you do a vidoe on good rat cages that arent above 100?
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO
I always feel like ikea is secretly made for small animals
Fsr when I saw the title I thought it was things you can get in IKEA in exchange for mice 🤦♀️
The ikea app says the Lurpassa materials are "Seagrass, clear lacquer" so I'd avoid that, but the other seagrass baskets just say "Seagrass" :)
I would love to go to ikea but unfortunately I do not have one near me
Could you use coconut husk in a dig box for mice and rats? Thank you 😊
Yep! That's usually the recommended type of substrate for this purpose. Just make sure, by checking the label, that it doesn't have any pesticides or chemicals, etc. added to it.
I love going to IKEA for items for my three hamsters ❤️
Hey Emi, where did you get your green and blue spacepod? I can only find black and white, and purple and blue! They don't match the cage theme!
I got it from rat rations!
@@Emiology Thanks! I've been wondering for a while now
Could you possibly do one of these for rats I know you have already done one but could you please do an updated version pls also ilysm 💕💕💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰😃😃😃😃
Nothing has really changed since the last one 🙂
Emiology 💕ok thank you 🥰
The cissan napkin holder moulds easily the other week i found mould all over it so i wouldn’t recommend using it
Hey where should I look for mice

Victoria Rachel did a video on ikea for hamsters!
Bethan I know but thanks✨
Me who live in NZ: ikea where? No ikea here..
I got my two boys today. I got a mealworm and put it through the top on the lid, he quickly jumped at me. I’m not sure why he did that so if anyone knows please tell me.
Mice? Try not to let them associate with your fingers putting food through the bars but they can be cage territorial and rush at you.
Erm.... You shouldn't have 2 male mice together.
@@gabster3007 oh no i meant my rats😂 sorry :D
@@Emiology I meant rats, sorry and ty
I have a question.. how many square inches do u need per mouse?
200 minimum but i reccomend more so it you have 2 mice youll need 400 or more
peepeepoopoo ok ty!

Take her to the vet maybe
I’m kinda confused as to which mice you still have 🤔
I used old footage in this as I don’t have any current footage of the detolf. I only have sprig bramble pearl and clove.
where could I find an ethical mouse breeder
A new enclosure huh? Wonder what for ...
what are you doing with the diy table top cage????? are you getting more mice? or are you getting a hamster? or what???? i cant wait to find out
so.. a critter trail
I swear you find so much in ikea and them I go and can find nothing that would be good 🥴😵😫
So I want to know if its okay for a rat to eat cardboard?
They don’t eat it they chew it into tiny pieces
K. Thank you
Today one of My girls passed away my other mice she was only 5 months
same but last week🥺
Aw so sorry guys❤️
Linnmon has gone up to £15 as well as the detolf gone up by £15
This is literally the video I’ve been waiting for and now I’m late bc UA-cam didn’t even send me to notificatioooooon.
Stupid UA-cam lol
UA-cam is really messing with me and my views 😖
IKEA and minitoon
Can’t they chew through the varnish tho?
Yes, but it’s mainly to protect the wood from absorbing their pee, so it doesn’t stink 😊

How did you deal with rat scratches? my chest and arms have tiny cuts from their sharp nails! i am going to file their nails. how did you deal with the scratches?
I cut their nails ☺️
I have a roof tile and a brick near the foodbowl, so their nails wear down a bit while walking over it. I picked some that aren't very rough, so it's not abrasive for their feet. I guess Stones would also work.
For the scratches I get time to time I use zinc ointment to help it heal quicker. :)
