this is probably a stupid question, but can mice learn their names? it would be really cute if they ran out when i call their names.

@ Nok

Of course! Just like any other animal, pigs will learn their names.
Even the stupid ones that you don't think do.

@ .Middy.

Am I right in thinking you make rat harnesses?



Bumping...again.

Yes, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YUg_8GsULWs
This is a old video a few days after I got them. That's why they are in the shelf once I fully trusted them I allowed them to run on my floor and Brazil is ten times better. I just have to call her once and she comes scampering over and starts looking for my hands. It's really cute, I'll try and record a newer video.

Thank you! Yours are very cute as well! I am thinking of starting to bring kiwi with me places: he is very good at balancing on my shoulder and he is very calm around other people!

I bring my rats out all the time! :) I only have a few who can't go places because they're too jumpy.
"I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style."
In real life I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 26 rats, 2 gerbils, 2 cockroaches, 1 turtle, 1 axolotl, and 8 fish.

Here is something I grabbed off my tumblr
http://youtu.be/tGcxM8oTYbM
I think that was in October? That clicking sound is me sucking my teeth, she comes to her name, a whistle and my weird clicking noise ( I thought It would look like I speak mouse if I made that noise and she comes :lol: )
