I hope these guides are helpful for any new mouse owners, whether you have a GEM or you got your mice from somewhere else!

If you have any questions about mouse care, please feel free to ask in the comments of this post (if you feel comfortable, public comments can help people who are just browsing), or send a private message to this page.

Our first mouse litter in a very long time, thanks to Nardia of Verminselli Mousery ❀️ these youngsters are a beautiful mixture of GEM, Verminselli, and Rainbow Magic, kindly gifted to the mousery after many months of difficulty convincing the GEM mouses to breed.

I think these babies have convinced the other girls to give pups a try, as we have two other divine does very pregnant and ready to release the beans!

It's a joy to have babies in the mousery again.

Will the GEM mouses see you there?!
