Arabian Spiny Mice for sale
I have several litters of Arabian Spiny Mice for sale. (see end of advert for details) Spiny Mice will chew through plastic enclosures, they will also chew plastic water bottles and bowls so I recommend glass tanks or terrarium's for this species with a wire mesh lid. Spiny Mice can get through small gaps so I use quarter-inch (6mm square) wire mesh. A glass water bottle or a bottle that is protected with a wire mesh cover and ceramic food bowls are also a good idea. Provide plenty of things for them to chew on such as suitable branches (they do also like to climb and are quite active so they need plenty to do so they don't get bored), cardboard tubes are also very popular. The main diet is Bird seed, mine eat a mix of wild bird seed and also budgie, finch and canary. I also feed them a Dwarf Hamster food and some Gerbil food plus some dry Cat biscuits. Spiny Mice can be more at risk from obesity and diabetes than some Rodents so be careful to limit sunflower seeds, peanuts, waxworms and mealworms which are fattening. They do like to eat some fresh fruit and vegetables and love mealworms and waxworms and millet sprays. Spiny Mice don't really like to be handled, they are very fast so best as pets to watch and are probably better suited for older children and adults. Spiny Mice are mostly nocturnal but mine are also active during the day. Spiny Mice smell less than Fancy Mice but do need cleaning out quite often, about every three weeks for a full clean out. Spiny Mice are a social species so I would prefer to sell them in pairs. I have two pairs of males for sale ready now two brothers born beginning of feb £30 for the pair two boys born middle of april and beginning of may £30 for the pair. Although not from the same litter they have been together since birth, although have recently started squabbling so may be best going to separate homes.£20 each. I also have a female born middle of april I can sell singly £25, unfortunately she is related to the boys so can't be sold with them. I now have two other females ready for homes soon so she can be sold with them if you prefer. £40 for the trio. The picture is of the three older Mice. The four youngest Mice I have for sale are two females born a few days apart end of august/early sept. £30 for the pair. (ready for new homes in two weeks time) Two brothers born about a week after the females £30 for the pair. (ready for new homes in three weeks). Please note all these Mice are related to each other so I cannot sell the males and females together, however I do know someone else who lives nearby with baby Spiny Mice who are unrelated to mine so please get in touch if you are interested in unrelated pairs as a few may be available.
