Ok I will post these three pics now, as I upload more pics to ImageStation. These first three pics are of my spiney mice Pippin (Pip for short) and Squeek. They are only a few weeks old and pretty tame for not being handled at all. They were going to be fed to snakes...eek!Their old owner housed them on pine and fed them rat food. Now they are in a ten gallon tank with a nice black plastic tube to run in and a heck of a lot more room. They used to share a tank with their mom, dad, and all their siblings..from two different litters!
This is Pip, he/she has more brown on his back. I do not know the sexes yet but if they start fighting then I know I have two of the same sex. They usually are housed in pairs, which is recommended. I am still doing massive studying on these mice. I have owned them before but had only females housed together, and they did fight occasionaly which is common. You cannot pick them up by the tail like you can other rodents, or the tail WILL come off. They do have spines, well more like thick hairs on the back, but these little ones have yet to get their thicker ones yet.
Anyways, here is Pippin, aka Pip lol.
Here are both of them, Pip and squeek. They look a lot bigger in this picture, but are really tiny.
Here is Pippin again. See, his food bowl is bigger than he is!
More pics in a few seconds......
