brief history of the national mouse club Fancy mice are mainly descended from the common house mouse (Mus musculus). Although there is documentation to support the evidence of an early mouse fancy in Japan during the late 1700's, even to the extent of the publication of a booklet on breeding "curious varieties", the fancy did not begin to emerge in it's present form until appoximately 100 years later. In the early 1880's mouse breeders attempted to encourage small livestock clubs to add a few mouse classes to their show schedules, and as a result, the first reported class for mice was at Oxford in 1892. www.nationalmouseclub.co.uk /history.html   (363 words)

fancy mice at the national mouse club (nmc) The exhibition fancy mouse is quite different from the white mouse kept as schoolboy's pets, and the history of some lines can be traced back many generations.

The competition is friendly and a bond exists between mouse fanciers to make it quite unlike any other fancy. www.nationalmouseclub.co.uk   (129 words)

Natural History Magazine Feature When the placid mouse didn't try to bite or escape, Austad asked himself, “What kind of self-respecting animal would allow itself to be handled like that?” As interested as he is in the history of the house mouse, however, he is even more intrigued by his own species. Once fancy mice became popular in the laboratory, their commercial success was directly proportional to the rate at which the animals could produce offspring. Beyond this general standard, there are five recognized types of fancy mice in England (Americans, Australians, and New Zealanders have their own standards and types). www.naturalhistorymag.com /0402/0402_feature.html   (3260 words)

mouse-faq.txt If your mouse has a litter (of any size) it is important to supplement her diet with extras eg bread and milk, or kitten formula milk, or high-protein puppy food (softened with hot water if necessary). These boxes are normally used by fanciers for breeding mice and they provide a very secure environment for a mouse to give birth and rear her litter in.

Releasing Mice to the Wild Your fancy mouse will not be among these luckiest few because the traits that make a good pet aren't the same as those that help a mouse survive in the wild.

One thing most people don't consider when they catch a mouse is that it may be a female and have a nest full of nursing babies. mouseranch.com /FYI/releasing.shtml   (1021 words)

Feature Archive 1 - 1st quarter 2000 The variable nature of the gene causing our tiger mice is such that it can cause a mouse to be marked with such heavy barring as to border on shading, making the mouse look like a sable variety, right through to a clear yellow coloured mouse with no barring whatsoever looking as a self would. Thus the stripes/markings on the mouse are always fawn and the background colour is the changeable part. So if a mouse was indeed a gold fox genetically, it would manifest phenotypically as a mock albino, and simply look white. carawatha.tripod.com /tiger_mice.htm   (1439 words)

Quick Shot review 28: RantoPad P1B and P2B mouse pads Just when you thought it was safe to walk through the Fancy Mousemats section of your local computer shop, another darn great collection of the things arrives and threatens to bring the shelves crashing down on you. The first commercial foot-tape product was Mouse Skatez, and there've been various others since (as well as some less obvious approaches to the same concept). You don't want to use your mouse on sandpaper, but neither do you want a really flat surface, because then every tiny dust speck, eyebrow and crumb will roll around scratchily between your delicate PTFE-coated mouse feet and the mat. www.dansdata.com /quickshot028.htm   (1183 words)
