I need one, mine died and I had to find a old mouse that was in my basement. Just need ideas on a good mouse to buy.
My condolences on the passing of your mouse. It must have been a dear friend - I know that mine was. The night after my mouse passed was hard, but I managed. The very next day I went and bought a new one, it helps ease the pain. So you have the right idea... I am not so sure that it is a good sign there are mice in your basement, but it is not my place to judge of course.
Might I recommend an African Pygmy Mouse to your person? They are cute and cuddly and like human contact. In my opinion you should also buy another mouse to keep it company.
Hope that helps.
All the best,
Xant.
