Hi guys! Sorry I completely forgo to upload this, with everything that happened with the pets recently I forgot I'd filmed this, it was filmed a month or so ago, unfortunately Opal has passed away since then but it's nice to see her in some of these clips. Hope the video is helpful :)
I’m so sorry about Opal :( may she have a lovely life with all her friends wherever she may go..
Omg I’m so sorry🥺 2020 really is the worst. She will be greatly missed❤️🥺😔xx
Omg I’m so sorry🥺 2020 really is the worst. She will be greatly missed❤️🥺😔xx
Im sorry for recent losses ❤stay strong x
I am so sorry about Opal :( At least she had an amazing life!
I always meet wild mice on my walks in the forest and your enclosure really reminds me of that environment :) I know you can't compare wild animals to pets, but seeing your mice explore this lovely home you made for them is almost like watching my friends in the forest crawl through leaves and run along branches on the ground!
That’s so cool! What country do you live in?! I live in a Australia and in the city so the only mice I see that aren’t mine are the ones living behind our sink 🤣😆
It was so cute when you were holding all of your mice! 🐭
Awe I’m in the first few seconds and I already have a cutest overload ❤️
Cuteness*
I love how you dont add punctuation to the end of video titles and dont clickbait us also love that you use a general neutral voice and tone.
Love you Emi❤
YAY I have been saving up for mice I’m so happy to see this! 🐭❤️✨
Ok but do a lot of re-search lol I can see you have been doing some already if not a lot :) I just got my girls like two months ago and I didn't get them the right size cage but I have enough to upgrade to a 40-50 gallon tank so hopefully soon! God luck with your mice!!!
I'm waiting until I move to get 3 females. Felicity Ann and Aspen that's what their names are going to be
Same lol i cant wait to get them
@@jaspersjostrom8504 omg the name aspen is so cuteee
I am too!!
I loved the video! My kitten really liked it too. He was watching it and purring and the he went to sleep. Lol. Bruno is sending some kitten kisses over your way 😊.
Cool..the kittens 🐱 will be making good friends with the mice 🐁 and the puppies 🐶 too
Seeing opal is making me sad! But seeing her is actually really nice
🐀🐾 R.I.P Opal
I don’t understand how u don’t have more followers I love u cuz u helped me give my mice their best life
I live in NZ and have one male mouse. Lots of these things aren't available where I live but this has opened to my eyes to the fact his cage isn't good enough. Its all wire - thank you for your content!
5:35 is so cute with you holding all of the mice!
wow i literally watched all ur mice videos today because im getting mice, such great timing haha
Romy awe I hope you enjoy them! I have a complete cage now and all I have to do is find some local mice breeeders
Aww same but I haven't gotten mine yet
I could watch videos like this the whole day😁 It's so calming. A lot of the things you have for your cage, I bought for my mice, too. And I bought them this little white/pink mouse (cat toy). Hope they will like and use it when I finally get it. Love your videos.
This was an amazing video, and I'm sorry for your loss. On a happier note, do you think you could make a similar video for rats? I know you have gone over a lot of information, but could you make a specific video about it? Thank you for being you, and keep doing what you're doing.
I love it when I see that you’ve posted a new video! It makes me so happy! 😊🐾
I really enjoy watching these types of videos, I'd love to see some more mouse cage cleaning videos in the future! Sorry to hear about Opal 💕
you’ve helped me so much with my mice. thank you. you really helped me give them a good life. may god bless you
The mice look ECSTATIC! So happy and cute little guys!
Hi! I’m definitely gonna get a rat when I grow up your helping me learn a lot about rats this year love you
I'm sorry about Opal. I just recently got 2 baby rats and got all my information from you ! thank you for making awesome videos!!
I'm getting mice today, and this is helpful! Thanks!
I adopted my first mouse today!
I've spent the last week watching all your mouse videos and it's been super helpful.
Remember female mice NEED to be in groups or pairs! :)
160th like!!! Your mice are all so cute! I'm getting a hamster on Wednesday (she's a long haired Syrian named Willow) so it's been nice watching a video all about mice as I've been doing so much hamster research lately and it's nice to learn all about different animals as well! ♥😂
Remember. 450++square inches of space! And a huge wheel!
Thank you thinking of getting mice after the pandemic really helpful ❤️🐁😊
Wow this mouse cage is amazing 🐭 I love the background of this set up, all the fun ropes and cute hides. Your mice are so adorable and so lucky to have such a great mom❤️
So cute! I’m glad you give them a lot of space! I always wanted to own a colony of mice but I can never find fancy one only feeder mice 🐭 I’m happy though I currently have 4 females rats soon I will be adding a 5th she was just born yesterday so won’t get her for awhile but very excited 😊 as always love watching your videos
Really beautiful set up, and your mice are just precious!
Why do u only have a few likes. U deserve so much more 🥺💓
this was so helpfull, im getting 4 mice for my birthday and i want the perfect home for them
❤
Omg I’m hoping to get mice and this is very helpful!
Those few dislikes are from moms that disapprove of you getting a rats or mice
Your cage is so cute! Love it
omg your mice are all soooo adorable!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
yayyyy thank you soooo much ! I am getting the ikea detolf for them too ans im getting 5 mice so thank you so much 💗
The enclosure looks lovely :) I usually dont like stickers, but yours look very cute!
Same I have pittakionophobia aka phobia of stickers and sticky things 😷
Awww! At 5:35, they are so cute!! I love them!!!
your mice are so adorable!
For everybody in the netherlands you can buy the exact same bedding in Ranzijn 😊
Ahhh!im so exited im setting my detolf tommorow! Love the vids keep up the good work!❤
How are my babies (rats) doing? I do LOVE your rat videos. They make me so happy.
They are so cuteeeee
This was so helpful! Thank you Emi!
My four girls love their Ikea detolf!
I JUST LOVE HOW ITS SO NATURAL AND THEN THE POP OF COLOR FROM THE PINK WHEELS J LIKE F THIS THEME 😂
Amazing setup!
"Recycled tea bag bedding" has got to be the most British thing I've heard in a long time.
😂😂😂
Amazing enclosure 🤩👏❣
Thanks this is super helpful I’m hoping to get mice 🐭 soon 😁
Aww your mice are so cute 💙
I just went to adopt a male mouse I felt sorry for at my local humane society and when I got there I found out he had two brothers. What could I do? I took them all and had to run out and get 2 more cages. Within 10 minutes of putting them in their cages, they were running on their wheels, furnishing their little houses with fluff, having a snack, and taking naps. I've had rats before but never mice so I'm finding your vids very helpful!
Do I own mice or rats? No. Do I ever plan on it? No. Are rats illegal where I live? Yes. Am I subscribed to this channel and watch these videos? You bet!
I am so jealous of your mouse care. I have a 36 x 12 cage with a homemade lid and well it is not strong enough to hold hanging toys. I have been trying to upgrade for a while but haven't gotten to it yet. Hope you are doing well!
Yayyy mouse content! Love u emi x
Thanks! This was very helpful
today i am building my ikea detolf cage for my 3 females. I eventually want more but for now they’ll be living lavishly :)
I love the setup! It looks so nice and fun for them 💕 may I ask your opinion on tank sizes for different mouse quantities? I keep wanting to upgrade at the same time that I think they have enough space. But I’m not a big RUclipsr and I know that people have different opinions, but I thought that you might know since you own so many mice and are so experienced with them :3 (thank you if you take the time to respond!! 😊)
I’d say minimum for 2-3 mice 20 gal, 3-4 mice 40 gal, 5-6 a 60 gal plus. Personally I wouldn’t use anything smaller than 40 gal for any mice ☺️
Emiology thank you! 😊 currently I am left with one mouse. (Getting two more ASAP!) I had three, two passed. I originally had them in a habitrail ovo, which I realized was my mistake, so after about a week I decided to buy a 20 gallon, which is what my one female is in for the moment. I will look into upgrading them, but for now do you think a 20 gallon will please them?
am I early? ❤️💕💕😊🦋
I love youre videos! 😊💕
Am i the only person who like immediately?!
PS -- I want a Boggle Buddy t-shirt! 😂😂
Rest In Peace Opal :(
thanks for this video! i just got my 2 girls a week ago!
I like this tutorial - altough heavy stones resting on the bedding are not the safest choice. They could collapse on the mice if they burrow under them. Always best to have heavy decorations standing directly on the bottom of the enclosure.
But still, I think these detolf cages are cool. Pretty low though, a topper would add more vertical space. Mice do live to climb.
I would love to know where you got a lot of the things you use in your cage! I love the look of it.
I love ur RUclips channel 🥺👍😜
Hi could you include a list of where you purchased the supplies
Loving your video with organisations for your pet mice 🐁 if I had a son or a daughter that loves mice 🐁 and other pets such as cats 🐈 dogs 🐕 & the rabbits 🐇
Hi so im going to be getting mice in one to two weeks and was wondering what size of a cage for two mice do you recommend
Where do you get the bedding from? And how much is it? I’m getting 3 boy rats and we were thinking of using that bedding. X❤️ love your videos so much, you’re the best!🥰🥰
I currently can't find this bedding for sale anywhere atm, but I got a different hemp bedding on zooplus thats good
Emiology thank you! I like zooplus it’s a very good website!❤️
I buy it from "carcroft pet supplies" from £20. I've never used it as the base bedding, just a later on top as I find it to be a bit dusty for my roborovskis, but it does last a while and is very affordable for the size
anyone have a good site/place for the us?
SmallPaws Collie thanks!
what do you use for the roof of the enclosure? im hoping to get some mice soon and while ive done a lot of research i wanna make sure i do the absolute best for them lol
I was wondering what you think of open fronted cages?
I've seen some people who have an open front that relighs on the mice natural instinct not to fall which really interests me bit I am of course worried something could happen.
Is this something anyone knows anything about?
I’ve seen people do this but I don’t think I would. They have good depth perception but I’ve had one mouse launch off the side of my cage luckily into my hand
Very nice setup! But I heard that it's dangerous to put heavy things like stones on top of the soil because they can dig under it. I dont know if its true but just in case it is and you didnt know😅❤
Hey I have a really awesome question. I'm trying to not spend as much money. So I know you explained the bedding but can I add that white bedding for the whole thing??
I can’t wait to get my ikea detolf! 😆 I am so excited to get it, you inspired me to get an ikea detolf because I do need a much larger cage than I have now as my two female mice had babies 🙈 (unexpected babies! the breeder sold us a male, long story 😅) so I am hoping to keep around 5-6 maybe 7 baby girls. Still not sure the gender of the babies but I am getting an expert in to check the genders just in case I get it wrong 😂 So yeah I currently have a cage that is about one quarter of the detolf (has three layers to it though and is slightly taller) it has worked well because I have only ever had 2 or 3 mice at one time but now I really want to get more mice and because my females had babies it is perfect. I will keep the mums of the babies of course and then as i said before I will keep 5-6 maybe 7 girls as well as both mums. I will give the rest of the babies to my trusted pet shop. Today was an exciting day because the first litter of mice opened their eyes! Also who ever is reading this (sorry it’s so long 😅) what are your opinions on when you should start introducing baby mice to eating proper mouse food?
Lol I was just about to comment asking you to make this video but you beat me to it 😂
Any suggestions on mice that like to chew the floor of the cage? Really cautious about getting any wooden etc toys incase they to try and eat that too.
They have tonnes of cardboard tubes, boxes etc but yea
With the detolf the flooring is glass so they can't chew it. Don't worry about wooden toys they're meant to be chewed, mice and rats grind everything down into a small dust and they're smart enough to know not to swallow it :)
@@Emiology 😱 really, I always worried that they'd eat it, guess I'm too used to having dogs and cats which are kinds idiots in comparison 😅😅
I really do need to upgrade my girls to a detolf just all my sides I have atm are all different heights or not quite long enough grrr 🤣
Either that or a longer vivarium, then it could just be put on the floor 🤔🤔
I’ve been wondering for a while if I can give my male mouse a small tub of water for the hot days or is there a problem with the oils in their fur so could he get a sand bath
I love this setup!
Every time I put something cool in the cage they destroy everything 😭
Mice=destruction
Hi emi just wondering how often you fully clean and spot clean your detolf btw great vid✨🌝
I have a video on that ☺️
I am so sorry I just realised that but btw even though I can’t see u I still think it cool that you answered my question I’ve been bragging about it to my friends
How often would you have to clean an enclosure of that size, and what does cleaning entail (like do you completely change of all of the bedding and wash the structures/toys/equipment, and if you do wash them, is it with detergent or will that be harmful, etc.)?
Thank you so much!
Great vvideo as always!! could you do one for rats too? xoxo
Yeah, I am getting rats in two weeks! It would be nice if you did one of these for rats as well.
How do you clean all the wooden toys/hides/ladders, etc?
Where did you buy those wonderful pink wheels?
can you do one of these but for rats too please? im researching about rats and i really want two of them😁 i have been watching your channel and ive been learning a lot about them love you vids and i hope you see this!!😊😊
Is the plant pot house bought like that or did you diy it? Trying to find something like this for the 5 girls I'm getting soon xx
Can we please have one of these for rats xxx😚🐀
How do you make the top?
Aww this video is so helpful. Also I have a free roam rabbit in my room and I was wondering wether its ok to have mice in the same room as a rabbit
I don't see why not as long as their enclosure is secure and they can never come into direct contact :)
@@Emiology oh ok thank you so much I was just wondering wether the urine from rabbits is harmful to mice or the opposite
Great video!! I've just got a group of 8 females🙈 housed in a 4ft tank they are great!! I'll definitely add more of the aubiose as they do love to dig. Any tips on taming? Thankyou 😊
can you use shredded paper for bedding?
Hello I wanted to ask if using only hay as bedding for mice is fine
No it’s not absorbent enough it will smell very quickly
im feeling guilty about not having a huge cage like you, i have a 70x40x45cm cage, is this okay?
Yes that's just above the minimum for a few mice :)
What kind of tank is that. It looks modular
0:45
Im wondering, how do you clean all your wooden toys so they arent stinky?
Do you change the layout? Wondering for my new mouse Zac who lives in a 40 gallon tank
Yep
Great video 85 comment love your vids have a pawtastic day!
I love mice 🐭
I know this is an old video but I'm new to mice and was wondering if you have any tips to set up glass enclosures/tanks for mice particularly on how to attach water bottles and hanging toys as mine has a high lid and is an old aquarium , thanks!
I use industrial Velcro for water bottles ☺️
Is coconut fiber safe for mice I have heard mixed things about it
Yes, I use it! :)
Yes
@@lorielleann119 What brand do you recommend?
Horselover 123 I use eco earth
What is a good source for a 84x48.5x44cm enclosure? I started watching one of your mice rescue videos and you said those are Alaska cages and the minimum size you can get. Is there a link to that product where I can find it/check it out? Thank you for your education on mice. I am a new keeper and want to give them a good home.
