I never wrote in here about when I got my mice on sunday evening... I took pictures and everything. Well I woke up this morning and Arima was dead. I had had to help him get out of the wheel last night before I fell asleep because he got stuck (not completely out of the expected because the wheel was of an idiotic design to begin with) He laid down when I got him out and went to sleep and didn't get up. I took Asaba back to the pet store because they keep an exotic animal expert on staff and I wanted to see if there was anything they could do for him, but they said no. Asaba passed away a short time ago laying in my hand. They had told me if I wanted to take him home to just keep him comfortable so I held him so that he would be warm since he didn't have Arima to cuddle with anymore. I buried them together in a box with some bedding and food from their cage. Just finished cleaning out the cage with bleach so that if they were actually sick and it wasn't just some birth defect with their litter that the next mice I get won't catch it. I'm sad right now... I need cheering up. Don't think I'm going to go to Nocturne this week. I just want to get new pets and be happy. I will go over tomorrow and check to see if they got new mice in yet... it's just too wierd with the empty cage around. Definitally don't want black mice though... I'd start crying and think of my boys. Here is a picture... if it resizes it funny and you care to see them there is also a picture in my pets picture section.
