I'm feeling VERY VERY guilty right now :(

well about ? 2 days ago I cleaned out my Gerbil and Mouse (seperate cage's) I always do the gerbil first (dont know why), I put them in the ball thingy.
well i put the mouse in the ball second cleaned the cage etc, and dun dun der....... forgot to put him back in the cage, the next day i was looking in the cage and noticed he hadnt eaten and thought nothing of it, 2 days later i thought i havnt herd him or anything, looked through his cage and he wasnt there, I looked everywhere to see if he had gotten out, and started to worry searching around for him, looked under the bed and found the ball with a suspisous white object in it, it was my little mousey, i franticly opened it and he was still alive, a little thiner but alive, now he's back in his home with food and water.
I'm feeling like such a bad rodent owner right now. hes ok but thin, i just cant belive that i cleaned him out and forgot to put him back in there.

mistakes like that happen you just have to remember not to forget about the lil mousy next time if that makes much sence

Yeah - remember not to forget heheheheh.

Good thing mice can go so long without water.

I used to have nightmares that I had a baby and forgot about it and found it days later, all thin! You lived out my nighmare.

I feel for you - I'm sure that won't ever happen again. You'll probably be paranoid about stuff like that forever now.
