Learning about pet mice

Quick loud shout out for the Rodent Nurse & her Patreon page. I've learned so much from following her Facebook page - awesome insights & infographics. Looking forward to learn even more. It is also possible to just support her rodent orphanage rescue

@Emi_ology I think you should tag them when writing these posts, so they see it, and people who search them on Twitter also see it, and become aware that such enclosures are bad for the animals, and why. Otherwise it is mostly preaching to the choir?

[PetMouseObservatory @ObservatoryPet]

Great example of how a pet store rodent enclosure can be designed with both pets & people in mind. Simple, neat, inviting and entertaining to look at, while providing cute hides for the guinea pigs (compare to the controversial pet-unfriendly #PetsatHome rodent enclosure upgrade)

@Emi_ology My fave petstore of all time redid all their rabbit and guinea-pig in closures, like this. I promise something like this cost so much less than the hot mess pets at home calls "improvement".....

Lovely concept. Would love to see one about mice, or if there isn't one I could perhaps try to make one (but I'm not a graphic designer)

[Mr. Schmeckles @MrSchmeckles]

There's nothing about investigating mysteries but aside from that it's pretty true.

[PetMouseObservatory @ObservatoryPet]

@MrSchmeckles @EmergencyRats I love this:-) Although it could be slightly more comprehensive. I'd love to find one about mice

Anxiety and stress in laboratory mice caused by aversive handling techniques such as tail-lifting, can impact on scientific outcomes. Here are some better ways to pick up a mouse

[The National Centre for the 3Rs @NC3Rs]

Come to #FELASA2019 stand A35 to request copies of our mouse handling poster for your facility or visit the mouse handling hub on our website at https://t.co/Ub6AXfyD8b, which also features videos, tips for implementation and more.

[Science for Animal Welfare @SciFAW_1926]

Tunnel handled mice showed better resilience to negative events suggesting tunnel handling is a major refinement...

[Dr Jasmine Clarkson @JasMClarkson]

Very proud of the implementation of refined mouse handling practices here @UofGlasgow ... check out our NTCOs latest blog about implementing these changes! 🐭

[PetMouseObservatory @ObservatoryPet]

Good handling of lab mice demonstrated by Jasmine Clarkson. Using clear tunnels to move mice instead of lifting them by the tail improves welfare

[Dr Jasmine Clarkson @JasMClarkson]

A video demonstration I did a little while ago with @CandyRowe_ whilst still @UniofNewcastle demonstrating the benefits of #tunnelhandling laboratory mice 🐭 Thanks @animalresearch #3Rs #AnimalWelfare

@carolduncan Thank you

While we're safe where we are so far, I've modified a cat crate with mousewire to serve as emergency cage for Mickey Mouse, should worst come to worst. Weather forecast says mostly sunny & hot, but haven't seen the sun through the smoke today (again). #NSWfires affect everything

[The National Centre for the 3Rs @NC3Rs]

If you work with laboratory mice, it's vital to know how to handle them properly, but where's the evidence behind the methods that we recommend? Our new printable table makes it easier for you to explore the research base for tunnel and cup handling. https://t.co/jecH95HJOx

I wonder if these cars are also suitable for mice, and where to get on cheap

[PetMouseObservatory @ObservatoryPet]

Can cockroaches (a cockroach infestation) be dangerous to a pet mouse? Specifically the Australian cockroach, Periplaneta australasiae. I sometimes find one in the mouse cage. We have many in the house, and there are hordes of them outside (online search: no useful results)

[PetMouseObservatory @ObservatoryPet]

Happily ever after https://t.co/C5A4KkvxDH via @wordpressdotcom
