Biscuit the mouse

She finally got a whole tank cleaning. I was able to catch her with a humane mouse trap. I was only able to do half cleaning. Now she can get on a regular cleaning schedule.

Juno Update

Juno got through surgery just fine. Juno has been through three surgeries so far. Scent gland removal, cyst drained, lump removed. New lump now at incision site and now another lump on other side. I know this must be cancer. I know they have to be removed. The medicine doesn't seem to be working. He is still a very active gerbil.
