Historia, mouse
Historia is a female mouse staying at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.
She has all her shots.
From Historia's current caretaker:
Historia is bonded with her sister Dice. Historia is a sweetie, but definitely more shy of the two mice. She also loves running on her wheel. When I give them treats, food or put my hand in, she is a lot more timid of me and stays further back or hidden. With time, I think she will warm up to us.

Dice, mouse
Dice is a female mouse being kept at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.
Here's what Dice's friends at MN Pocket Pet Rescue think of her:
Dice loves her wheel and making tunnels in bedding from one area to the next. She is bonded with her sister Historia. Dice is so inquisitive but very shy. She will not let you touch or pet her, but with time and treats she has booped my hand with her nose a couple of times. I believe with more time she will warm right up. We may never get to pet or hold her, but she absolutely gets more friendly with time. She loves her wheel and her sister more than anything!

From Eiffel's current caretaker:
Eiffel enjoys receiving gifts of Cheerios in the evening. He has also partially changed his schedule around to match his fosters. Eiffel is a pretty friendly guy, so anyone who is at home during daytime hours would love him! Eiffel is one of the only mice from his litter that wasn't white in color, he is actually a very light tan. He loves running on his wheel for several hours in the evening and overnight.
