PHOTOS! First batch of mice photos.

[Die Fledermaus]

So here they are, finally. Some of them. The ones easiest to identify are the first up - see if you can name their colors.

I have a number of photos of the others I am still working on for ID purposes.








Here is Kira!







Here is Wuzzy! Why that name, well, it's obvious.

Here is a list of all the colors that Kira may be - these are all coats that are white or close to white.

Blue Point Himilayan Blue Point Siamese Himalayan Ivory Pink-Eyed White Black-Eyed White Black-Eyed Siamese Red-Eyed Siamese

Now, a few of them obviously need to be eliminated from that set. These include Ivory, Black-Eyed White, and Black-Eyed Siamese. The reason is because all of those mice have black eyes, and Kira obviously has pink or ruby eyes.

Now, I'll eliminate Blue Point Himalayan, Blue Point Siamese, Himalayan, and Red-Eyed Siamese from the list. This is because Kira has pink ears and all himalayan and siamese mice have dark ears and dark points.

All that is remaining is pink eyed white. Kira looks like she may have tinting on her fur, so she may be a VERY light broken champagne. She also looks to be a frizzy.

I'll continue with Wuzzy on a seperate post... can you tell I love to be complicated? ;D

I won't explain this time, I'll just post the lists.

I can't be certain on what color Wuzzy is, but I am guessing that she is either a silver agouti or a dove. I am leaning more towards silver agouti because doves have more of a blue hue to their coats. Wuzzy also looks like she doesn't have much fur - is she a rex?

BTW, DF - adorable mice! Your remaining ones all look splashed or varigated.

Grrr. I have just given up trying to identify all my many photos to the correct mouse. About a quarter of the two dozen I have I can't ID to the proper mouse as there are no clearly visible markings, plus I am a mouse newbie.

Soooo. . . I will take more photos and this time carefully keep track of who I am photographing. Questionable photos I will let you eventually have a peak at to see if you have better luck than I did.

Yes, very good call on Kira by you. She is not pure white all over.

Any other questions I have about all this I will get to, tomorrow.

[mishimouse]

Kira must be an extreme dilute. I'm so used to attempting to identify colors now that overlooking the details is too hard for me to do.

I'm baffled at Wuzzy's color, though. She's quite interesting, especially since she looks like she does not have much fur.

Also might add that I believe most of your mice are satin - Wuzzy excluded.

They are very cute.

Is Wuzzy the runt? She sure is cute, but I feel a little sorry for her.

I don't believe they are from the same litter, although I'll check on that.

She is not that small; compare her to the others. They are close to the same size, but she is the most timid and hides a lot. But they all have plenty of food. Now Larry was a true runt, he from Rainy's litter. I never posted a photo of him (although I have them) as it was too sad. He was a third the size at most of the others; I couldn't even get him to eat more than a few licks with hand feeding attempts.

Next batch of mice photos will be up in about ten minutes!

Awwww! Those faces are so cute! Love those ears!

I have to get a shot when four or more little heads come sticking out of their two level town house!

That name is from an old poem by Rudyard Kipling. "Wuzzy" as in "fuzzy". Fuzzy Wuzzy

It then became a simple children's rhyme:
Fuzzy Wuzzy
was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy
had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy
wasn't really fuzzy,
Was he?

DF,
The mice are simply adorable. Enjoy them.

Thanks. I am. They are all doing fine.

Theirr bedding is now corn cob, which seems to work best for them.
