honestly i dont like to do pictures like these and i tried to avoid it but i felt like i had to draw cider.
she was such a amazing pet and i'll miss her a lot tbh
its like with small animals passing, even though it is their time, it always feels like "I could've done this instead to keep them alive"
I kinda feel like that, she was showing signs of being sick but I didn't know what to do
but honestly im so blessed to have had cider as my first mouse she was so sweet & mellow...and chubby!! lol

I fully understand. I have rats, have had them for the last 20 years as adorable fuzzballs, and they do become family. It hurts when one of them passes. But you do what you can for them, and they do know you care for them and love them.
With the little ones, when they become sick, it's hard to tell what it is. And taking them to a vet is so so expensive. They're considered exotic pets, and so will cost more than a dog or cat or even a bird.
Peace and comfort.

Aaaa, yeah, I know what you mean. My boyfriend and I got a rat from a friend (her name is Gouda) and we decided to get her a companion. We got a little baby rat and named her Mozzarella. She started sneezing on the way home, but I thought nothing of it because Gouda does that all the time, little sneezy turd. Anyway, she ended up not really moving at all and coughing and not responding to anything. $70 vet bill later, we bring her home, and we were tending to her for hours constantly. I come into the room after having left for a few minutes and I see my boyfriend collapsed on the floor sobbing and cuddling her because he felt like he failed me and her... it was heartbreaking. Amazing how one little baby can do so much to emotions and mental state. We actually got another once he was ready and her name is Snicker Doodle.
tl;dr: It's always so upsetting, but it'll be okay! ♥ I'm sure she felt loved during her time. 
I own mice, they are the most amazing/life changing/eye opening babies! I originally bought three sisters and lost the last one in September. I now only own a single lady, she's actually bruxing happily from the nightstand while she rips a paper towel tube a new one. She's not from the original litter, and I'd love to have more baby meece- but I'm waiting until Valentine passes (and of course there is no anticipation for that)
Gosh though, it's a double edged sword. They are so unique, sweet, gentle, and full of personality. But their precious little lives are so short, and you never realize how abused and undervalued the species is until you fall for them. Being used as experiments, treated as pests, seen as food, the list goes on and breaks my heart.
But in a world that's so hard for them, I can find some happiness in the fact that I can give the ones I find a good, healthy, loved life. And I'm sure your adorable little Cider was given all the happiness a mouse could have from you.
It hurts like hell, but you can get through it! And she's not suffering any more. Couldn't ask for more than that <3

Rodents are some of the most beautiful creatures in this world. They fill our hearts with so much love and joy before they leave us all too soon. They're like the flowers of the pet world for me...
You gave your little mouse a wonderful life and a beautiful tribute. You were an excellent rodent parent, and I'm sure she's over the rainbow bridge missing you just as much.
