About Alder
Alder is a lovely young mouse that will keep you occupied with his michief! This lively male enjoys climbing, burrowing, and running about, but he also has an appreciation for comfort in his nests and hammock. Alder's light grey coat gives him an attractive, understated look.
Alder is looking for a home where he'll be cared for with respect and love. Like most mice, Alder isn't looking for a cuddle. Instead, he would prefer you show your love to him by giving him new toys to explore and foods to taste. Watching him thoroughly enjoy your creative cage lay outs and getting to know his unique personality will bring joy to your life.
To someone so tiny, children can be unintentionally frightening. For this reason, Alder is better suited to a home with teenagers or adults only. If you have cat or dog family members, put thought into how you'll keep them safely away from his cage. As he is an entire male, Alder must be housed alone.
Can you offer Alder a safe, engaging home for the rest of his life (1-2 years)? If so, send us an enquiry and we'll get back to you as soon as possible to make his dreams come true!
Alder will be treated with a parasite preventative prior to adoption.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
All of our animals are seeking indoor only homes. We do not adopt out any animal to live alone (excluding entire male mice). If you do not have one or more compatible animals of the same species, you must adopt a bonded pair or group.
Once you apply to adopt, we'll talk with you about proper care of the animals you're looking to adopt, discuss any concerns you or we might have, and tell you more about our available animals. To speed up the process, please include as much detail as possible about your situation, other animals, experience with the species you're looking to adopt, and intended housing/diet when you apply. If there's a particular vet clinic you intend to use, please tell us the name (otherwise we can help you locate one that is knowledgable in small animals).
As part of the adoption process we require photos of a complete, suitable set up. We can provide care advice, and suggest contacting us prior to buying any cages or items for your new family members as many sold for small animals are not appropriate. We've also outlined our housing expectations on our social media, but don't be intimidated! We are here to help, not judge.
At the time of adoption, you'll be asked to pay an adoption fee and sign an adoption form. You'll receive an adoption packet including a detailed care guide for the species you've adopted, an adoption certificate, and any relevant veterinary records (proof of vaccination and sterilisation, microchip details, etc).
