Hey all.
A few months ago someone brought me a male African Pygmy mouse. He came from a horrible pet shop here in Houston called S&S Exotics where overcrowded conditions led to him having his tail chewed off and his ear tattered by his cagemates.
I am desperately seeking a cagemate for him. Pygmies are tiny and super fast and nearly impossible to handle, which makes it very important to provide them with a buddy and plenty of stuff to do.
I have checked with all the rescues I know, most of the pet stores in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, etc. I wouldn't even mind purchasing one since they are so rare in the pet trade now that even pet shops are having a hard time getting a hold of them.
If someone in Texas knows where I can get one (or more), PLEASE let me know. I can arrange transportation to get one to me as far away as Oklahoma, Louisiana, etc.
I am looking for males, but I would be willing to provide a home for females too (in a separate enclosure of course) if there is a group that needs a home.
My Mandrake currently lives in a fairly lavish 10 gallon setup, but depending on how many buddies I can find for him I can easily upgrade to a 20 gallon or even a 40 gallon.
