Vielzitzenmäuse

Male · Young · 1 year

Breed: Multimouse Gender: male + female Birthdates: varied On July 4, 2025, over 100 mice came to us following a sudden death—among them adults, juveniles, and babies of both genders. We were able to determine at least 8–9 teats on the females, so we assume they are Vielzitzenmäuse. Due to the large number of animals, our capacities are significantly exceeded, so we urgently seek people who can provide an appropriate home for the mice. Vielzitzenmäuse are twilight-to-night active, very social, and lively animals. They are curious, love climbing, and require many hiding places, enrichment opportunities, and a sufficiently large running wheel. The recommended enclosure size for 5–6 mice is at least: – 100 × 50 × 100 cm or – 120 × 50 × 80 cm The larger, the better! Vielzitzenmäuse are active animals that require a lot of space and structure. Suitable for husbandry are especially self- or modified cabinets and closed shelving systems with multiple levels that provide ample movement space. To prevent further offspring, we only match same-sex groups. It is advised against housing them with fancy mice! Interested parties can contact us via email with photos and the dimensions of the planned enclosure. Update February 6, 2026: 13 mice are still searching for a home. Further information and numerous husbandry tips for the African Multimouse can be found at: Mäuseasyl e.V.

Rasse: Vielzitzenmaus Geschlecht: männlich + weiblich Geburtsdatum: unterschiedlichNach einem plötzlichen Todesfall kamen am 04.07.2025 über 100 Mäuse zu uns – darunter Erwachsene, Jungtiere und Babys beider Geschlechter. Bei den Weibchen konnten wir mindestens 8–9 Zitzenpaare feststellen, daher gehen wir davon aus, dass es sich um Vielzitzenmäuse handelt. Da die große Anzahl an Tieren unsere Kapazitäten deutlich übersteigt, suchen wir dringend Menschen, die den Mäusen ein artgerechte Zuhause bieten können. Vielzitzenmäuse sind dämmerungs- bis nachtaktive, sehr soziale und lebhafte Tiere. Sie sind neugierig, kletterfreudig und benötigen viele Verstecke, Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten und ein ausreichend großes Laufrad. Die empfohlene Gehegegröße für 5–6 Tiere beträgt mindestens:– 100 × 50 × 100 cm oder– 120 × 50 × 80 cm Je größer, desto besser! Vielzitzenmäuse sind aktive Tiere, die viel Raum und Struktur brauchen. Für die Haltung eignen sich besonders selbst- oder umgebaute Schränke und geschlossene Regalsysteme, die mit mehreren Etagen ausgestattet sind und ausreichend Bewegungsfläche bieten. Um weiteren Nachwuchs zu vermeiden, vermitteln wir ausschließlich in gleichgeschlechtliche Gruppen. Von einer Vergesellschaftung mit Farbmäusen ist abzuraten! Interessenten können sich gerne per E-Mail mit Fotos und den Maßen des geplanten Geheges melden. Update 06.02.2026: 13 Mäuse sind noch auf der Suche nach einem ZuhauseWeitere Infos und zahlreiche Haltungstipps zur Afrikanische Vielzitzenmaus gibt es auf: Mäuseasyl e.V.

About Vielzitzenmäuse

What life with Vielzitzenmäuse looks like

Vielzitzenmäuse is a large young adult animal waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Vielzitzenmäuse far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vielzitzenmäuse, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vielzitzenmäuse?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Heilbronn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vielzitzenmäuse on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vielzitzenmäuse if I live in another country?
Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierschutzverein Heilbronn what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Vielzitzenmäuse already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierschutzverein Heilbronn directly what is included and what Vielzitzenmäuse still needs.
What happens if Vielzitzenmäuse isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Heilbronn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vielzitzenmäuse and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
