Well I brought home a new sister for Tiva And Indie. She is currently in quarantine but I look forward to the day I can introduce them on neutral territory. Im not too worried because I bonded my rabbits and they are alot harder to get together.
Anyways I was looking for a Mock Chocolate, Fox, or Black and Tan mouse. No particular reason other than liking the colors. When I looked in the female tank at Petco I was disappointed because all the Mock Chocolate mice, yellow, and even spotted mice that I had seen a week ago had been replaced by black and agouti mice. Though while cute not what I was looking for. I then asked if someone could open up the tank and the guy shook out the igloos. The first one produced a bunch of agouti mice and one white mouse. The second produced to the untrained eye only black mice. Then I saw it ,that gold belly. I told the guy right away (while two teen boys hovered) that I wanted the one with the tan belly. And so I left with a beautiful Black and Tan doe.
Got her in the car and midway home the bottom of the box broke open. Faulty box. And out slipped my new mouse! So I had to pull over and try and catch a now hopping mouse in my car! I almost had her once but she nipped my finger and drew a pin prick of blood. I knew she was stressed. And the employee of course had to pick her up by her tail :evil: . But eventually I got her in the kritter keeper I plan to keep her in for quarantine.
Got her home and settled and took a few pics through the cage. They airn't as good as my other pictures. But I don't want to disturb her really for a couple days. She has had a rougher homecoming than Tiva and Indie had.
Anyways I have know idea what I should name her. These are some names im considering.
Min Pin (Pinny for short)- because of her coloring, size, and because she bit me within minutes of meeting me.
Buckeye- coloring, and because we live in Ohio. But I almost rather save it for a Mock Chocolate Male in the future. Its really not feminine.
Acorn- a bit generic
Sun Bear- Because she is the color of a Sun Bear.
Akasha (Kasha for short)- always liked the name. Also a Anne Rice Vampire......get it she bit me?
Pics.
So let me know which name you like best. Or give me a better name to consider! Im going for unique
.
Thanks!
