    Some things we used were Terra Firma soil, dead moss, live moss, biodegradables, 2" Pot Green Fittonia, 2" pot Creeping Fig, Large Nut Pod, (all curtsy of TheBioDude), a ladder made of wood, a seashell, and a ceramic waterbottle stand w/ a waterbottle.

    This is very interesting. I have a few mice of my own so this is very helpful.

Rodentarium Day 1

Last night, my mom and I set up a bio-active vivarium for mice.      Vivariums are usually for reptiles and sometimes amphibians, not furry mice. One of the main problems while I was researching this, was finding a way to get rid of mouse poop without human involvement. Mainly because with a vivarium, it's supposed to mimic their natural habitat which means you would have to dig through the ground to get their poop out. Not to mention pee. The reason getting rid of the mouse poop was a problem was because mice poop way more than snakes do. Humans poop a few times a day. Snakes poop almost once or twice a week. Mice can poop at least three times in about five minutes.      The mouse on the left with the gray spots is named Chadex.

He was the first one to give me nose nuzzles and he trusts me a lot. The dexterity

Mouse Tunnels

Gyfu has decided that the vivarium is the place to make tunnels, which is a really interesting thing to watch. When my mom and I bought the soil from TheBioDude, we got Terra Firma which is a soil mixture for burrowing creatures, and it seems we have made the right choice. Gyfu has currently made at least 2 little caves that have their own entrance/exit. Another interesting thing we have seen is that Gyfu puts in air holes in the sides of the burrows.  When the condensation builds it is harder for them to breath, rather than escaping the burrow he decided to make tiny tunnels using his nose.  This created airflow in the burrow  which helped him to breath easier, and it allowed him to continue working on his burrow. Today we added isopods into the environment. Isopods dig a lot, reproduce quickly, and eat most biodegradable matter. This includes, the Sphagnum moss and dead leaves that are mixed into the soil,  and our hope is they will be able to keep up with the rate of mouse wa
