My
husband and I have raised Peewee since he was only a few days old
when he was brought upstairs by our cat Biscuit. He was unfortunately
the only survivor. We felt at first we couldn't do anything to save him,
but after much researching online, we purchased puppy replacement
formula and began feeding him with a syringe. We didn't think he'd make
it, but he kept on surprising us with every passing day! Three months
later he's still with us, and has made a great addition to our little
family. He is very fun and tame and extremely attached to 'mommy and
daddy'.
Deer mice are amazingly fast runners and Peewee is no exception. We
learned very quickly that it's not in any of our best interests for him
to get out of his cage. He loves human interaction and climbing upside
down on the mesh topper to his tank. A month ago we added another mouse
- Pumpkin, a pet store 'feeder' - to his cage. After much effort on my
part, they have finally become very good friends and it warms our hearts
to know he has a companion. I'm very happy to have Peewee as a pet. As
I've told others (many of whom think we're nuts!) "We didn't choose him,
but he chose us." We're hoping to have him as long as he'll stay!
