    Ok no image is coming up for me...

    also do you wish to get this as a pet?/want advice or is it random 'guess the pet' ?

    its probably a good thing you can't see it! Its a very unappealing pet. I definately do not want one! I don't know why you can't see the pic...Ill try and put a new link in. Its just a guess the animal random thing.

    Im actually hoping to get a new pet- maybe african striped mice, if I can find a breeder that handles them as I believe they are extremely fast and not as easy to tame as regular mice :)

    Hmm maybe pm FAYSEY as they have quite a lot of random pets, they might know someone who would know where you could get such mice

    I have stripped grass mice - soooooo cute - fast but very handleable. I am having no luck with breeding yet - may change their diet to see if that works. Not sure of good breeders here as I got mine in the uk.

    Cool :) Is it fast like when regular mice are young? Ive kept lots of mice and rats and was thinking of getting something a little different, but still a rodent. Have you ever kept pygmy hedgehogs? Did I read before on the raccoon thread, that you have coaties? Im going to see two tomorrow to take some photos. beautiful creatures!

    I do have 2 coatis & many other creatures - I adore AyeAyes & would love one or 4!

    Yes stripped mice are also called zebra mice. I find them no harder to keep than ordinary mice - thankfully they smell much nicer! They do not bite either! I love Medinteranian reed voles too - they are one of my favourite rodents! I also love duprasi very cute!

    Kinsealy Petstore had zebra mice in recently, give them a call and see if they still have some.
