Ruffle and Twist Rehomed

Ruffle and Twist were sold as child's pets and came to us when the owner realised their specialist needs. Multimammate mice do not make good pets for children, they are frequently bred as live food so understandably their temperaments can be shy and sometimes cage aggressive.

These girls are adapting well to a suitable, large enclosure that they cannot chew out of and escape. They are a little shy and will need work building their confidence with an experienced owner of exotics.

Further Details

Many of our Multi rescues have come from situations where they have been bred for food. We've placed them with experienced owners or those keen to research and learn. Many have gone to keep lone male mice company, as they cannot interbreed.

Ruffle and Twist need work on their handling as they can be prone to biting and showing signs of cage aggression. This isn't unusual for multimmate mice and can be worked on with patience, and tube-training is a good way of improving confidence.
