More have been rehomed which leaves 15 mice still looking for homes

Fudge and Shadow are still looking for homes. Here are a couple of more photos of Shadow

Yes please I am such a novice on Facebook, however I do know how to use Farm Town

I have been a busy person building a website for the local rescue I help. They rescue and rehome small animals (gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, chinchillas, degus, rats, guinea pigs and now rabbits). They are called Rodent Rescue and they are based in Polegate (about 4 miles from Eastbourne) in East Sussex. Here is the new website: www.rodentrescue.org.uk Emma and Ross that run Rodent Rescue would be really grateful if you could help advertise the link either by posting on other forums or adding them to other websites. Many thanks on behalf of Rodent Rescue.

Great news Stuart (the white one) has been rehomed

Over the last couple of weeks a total of 5 mice have found new homes. That still leaves a lot still looking.

Great news these lovely boys have found a new home

They are a little bit shy, they stayed still enough for me to take the pictures and let me have a little stroke of them so I think with a little time and care they will soon settle into a new home. I got the colours slightly wrong (as you can see) Pictures of Buttons and Brandy

Fantastic news......Terry is going to his new home on Sunday

These mice are still looking for homes

Thans for the advice Yes they are wormed reguarly, and they have oyster shells in with their grit which in turn I mix in with their mash. So I shall try the supplements as well. I wondered if the mash itself wasn't as good (I have tried a couple of brands), so might go back to the original one I used. Thank you so much
