Does anyone know where to get a pet mouse?

[portioncontrol]

Hi all,

I had adopted a pet mouse earlier this year called Gary Oldman, and sadly he died a couple of weeks ago. I want to get another one for Christmas, although no mouse will ever sufficiently replace the love and affection that Gary gave me, I can try. I spoke to Pets at Home and the man had no idea where to get one? Does anyone know where I'd be able to find one (younger the better so that I have a year or two until I experience another harrowing mouse death)? Please help mend my broken, mouse-less heart. Any pet shops that sell mice or local mouse owners with babies?

PS: Please no comments about "there's one under my dishwasher you can have", have heard it a thousand times.

The average lifespan of a mouse kept in captivity is 2 years.

Pet mice have one of the shortest lifespan of all pet rodents.

Good luck with your search.

No Idea where you might be able to buy one.

Don't seem to see many Pet Shops these days. Used to loads in the 50's - 60's

Selling Budgies.. Hamsters... Fish.. everything

There is a rehoming department at Pets at Home at Bell Green and the Old Kent Road. Obviously phone them before making the trip.

Rehoming is definitely best, but if this doesn't work try ringing Supreme Foods, they are one of the largest independent pet shops in the area and if they can't supply one they probably know who stocks mice.

There is a large pet shop on the way into East Grinstead (A22) (Pets at Home) that had mice and other rodents for sale when i was in there a few months ago.

Mimi's Rodent rescue in Stratford has mice looking for a new home:

Check this, could be some efficiencies to be made between the two interests ?!
