am I abusive?

[IRescue452]

Thanks guys. Baby food is exactly what they covered themselves in. And sweet potato at that. Stinky orange mice!

Nope, not abusive at all. I know what you're talking about with other pet forums, such as the one you stated above. I think when someone joins a particular forum, such as just a mouse forum, they feel they know EVERYTHING just because it is on one subject. I have observed this alot with those types of forums. Good luck with your mice, and don't let those people get to you.

I used to have guinea pigs and I gave them baths.

All my rats got bathed at least once a month, some more so since they were super stinky boys who loved to spray urine everywhere. I've given pretty much all my rodents baths. None ever got sick from it, and they were all fine afterwards. My one mouse used to get bathed frequently just because he loved the attention!

i used to bath my hamster every 10 days or so he loved it and he lived happily for 3 and a half - 4 years!

you are no way abusive!!!!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

It would have been far more abusive to let your meeces wander around in their own dirt

(yes, I know they are mice but "I love meeces to pieces")

I think it's great that you cleaned your mice. Years and years ago when I was a little kid, I had a baby squirrel that was left abandoned in my yard. Me being me at the time, I fed him a chocolate cherry and it got all over him... I had to give him a bath and it seemed like he enjoyed it. I am sure bathing mice is not a problem! Animals go in water, I don't see why a mouse would be any different
