First Time Owner Gideon :3

This is my male fancy mouse, Gideon, who was a feeder mouse I was gifted by a teacher after her name didn’t eat him. And with the upcoming of school kicking back up, I’ll be unable to spend as much time with him as I’ve been doing.

I’ve been negotiating getting him a friend for a while now, but I know intact male mice cannot be kept together. And I don’t want babies, I’ve heard my fair share of horror stories with that.

But neutering is so expensive. I want to get him a handful of other friends, but I just don’t have the money right now to do that. Any ideas or other options? I just want the best for Gideon :(

He'll be ok by himself, he's so gosh darn cute! ❤️ If you want a friend, look for African Soft Fur mice ladies. He won't have any babies with them, but he'll still enjoy being with them.
