Heres the main ventilation. Filter can be removed if smell is not a concern.


Top view of the cage, showing bottle & feed hopper.


Just to get an idea of the layout & size


Hopper has slits & there's prob enough space for a small exercise wheel

My pet mice are adult males, so looks abit packed, but then again, I'm keeping them in aircon, so they need each other for warmth.

you keep mice as pets? After i work extensively with mices in my experiments, i hate rodents.

I cannot name my pet mice....cos they all look the same...the 3 whiteys
Sad...maybe I can use the Acryan UV paint.......

!!!! who says rodents looks the same ? I can distinguish between my 3 robos anytime.....

Lesson how to distinguish between rodents :

Size

How fat ( fatter = cuter )

how long are whiskers

degree of whiskers bent

fur pattern / colour

their habits

how smooth their fur is

size of eyes / colour / brightness




sure can differentiate one...the differences are very obvious if you spend more time with them I used to spenda around 2 hours everyday fussing over hamsters and taking every single one out of the cage and let them loose in the house...damned bloody cute lol...if you ever can't find them....they LOVE to hide at dark places ( storeroom ) and corners...

they can run over 5-15 km/h if they wanted to btw...for over 5 hours

Bro...look at my pet mice...they're albino! All born from the same litter so same size, same sex, same everything!
Fur is all white, eyes are all red

If you can tell them apart just from looking, I'm sure alot of researchers will wanna hire you to help them so they don't have to worry about labelling & tagging their mice to avoid mixing them up

Oh? I work with mice & rats everyday...like them more & more
where you did your work? maybe i'll know since its a small field

Whoops, sorry for the OT TS...but just wanna spice up the thread cos very dead around this part of the forum.

[XTimX]

eh my hammies also brothers and sisters.....but I tell you..there will ALWAYS be slight variations within rodents one.....CAN TELL ONE I don't believe they all exactly the same shade of white down to the very last fur...I used to have my hamster on my shoulder and table while I use the PC one lol...my first hamster was also the most obedient heh...she used to sit on my shoulder for over an hour before she got bored lol...although I would find regurgitated food on my shoulder haha..

o.O what you work as ah ?

[comp.nerd]
