A year ago today Bearclaw was born! He is our only texel buck related to our OG texel line. For those that don’t know, I had to take a breeding hiatus to take care of my spouse after a major surgery. I didn’t have the time to take care of all the mice, the rest of my pets, and my spouse. I kept a few back as pets, including 1 texel buck from my OG line. When I began breeding again 5 months later, the buck was then around 9 months old, and sired Bearclaw’s litter. Now I have the friendliest little guy, who begs to be held and interact with people. While he doesn’t have the most perfect coat for a texel, his temperament is so excellent that I almost don’t care. He is a great mouse to introduce to people who are more scared or don’t have experience handling them!
He has been paired to a blue texel doe and will be paired to a black pied angora for his final sired litters. I’m hoping to keep a buck or two back to replace him as he will be retiring as a spoiled pet!! Enjoy some baby photos of him 🥰
