If you see Emmy in this pic, there's a slight slight bump - that's a small mouse! I'd get away with trying a medium wouldn't I?

I was worrying last night about her being on the small side - she's 3 in July and only coming up for 3ft! I'm only worrying as I got Oscar when he was 3 years old, and he was nearly 5ft! But I know they all grow at different rates etc...so shouldn't worry...but I do haha!

Defo ready for a medium :-)

If you get a chance to pick your mice, there are some mediums, that could pass for a small, and smalls, that could pass for a medium - she won't even notice the difference...

She's looking in nice condition, and I still can't get over how clean and pale her colour looks... beautiful :-)

Eeek scary! Yeah I usually pick one that's a slight size up, like Hugo is on double large pinkies, and next he will be going on to 'small' fuzzies

Thank you, she is a beauty!

She is such a beauty .

Razee is right, unsurprisingly . It is nerve-wracking when you move up sometimes but you do what I do, choosing the smallest of the next size first. I wouldn't worry about her size. Storm is a CB12 as well and he's not quite 3' yet. I'm more surprised about Oscar being that long that young. And we all worry, some just don't like admitting it .

Thank you! You should see the yellow coming through on her in proper daylight, I took a pic with a flash I'll pop up later. Not the best representation as it's not natural light, but gives more of an idea of the amount of yellow she actually has now!

She's on mediums and loving them took it like a trooper! Yeah, I think the last owners just wanted to grow him fast to breed then sold him on
