Mousey

In February 2026, we welcomed a pair of unconventional friends to the Sanctuary named Mousey and Papa. Can you guess what Mousey is?!

Papa is a delicious butterscotch colored bunny while Mousey is a darling house mouse! Although the pair was not bonded nor did they live in the same habitat, they did come from the same loving home! Their pet guardian reached out to us when she could no longer give them both the time and attention they deserved. Leaning especially on Papa’s need for quiet cuddles and people time, she decided to re-home both boys to a more attentive environment.

Mousey is mostly white with apricot spots! He was born in August 2025, socializing with his person since he was a little mouse and spending time around rabbit brother, Papa! Mousey is acclimating to his new habitat very well, even accepting some pets and climbing on hands! We have him on a monitored diet so he can be a bit slimmer and more active. We also noticed his right eye is swollen so we started him on antibiotics to see if that helps, and it seems to be decreasing in size so far. We can’t wait to see how he does and how he continues to thrive until his forever home is found!
