How cute are these! I have recently got these little beauties. They are South American short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis domesticus). They are a pair which hopefully next year I will be breeding!
What do you think?

super cool,are th opposums marsupials????they all look great anyway
good to see that things are going well - Joel
I can't disclose on a public forum where these guys came from the breeder wants to remain anonymous. But to answer the other questions they are marsupials but do not have a pouch, the reason they are still marsupials is because they have a short gestation period of 12 days! The young are born 1/8 of an inch long and take 1 month to get hair! Bless them!
The spiny mice are really tame! We used to have them at college and they were extremely agressive, but these two are real sweeties!

omg 
,extreme caution at cleaning out times then
Have you got them to breed so you can feed Snakes????
They are definately not being bred for food! Otherwise they would be very expensive food!
Awwwwwww so cute

I have 7 Cairo Spiny Mice, different to your's, mine are slate gray colour, a bit more slender and are probably not hand tame, what species have you got?
I donated two to my old college, im sure its not the same college though
They are easilly bred in captivity, before long you should have loads more of them, I started with 2 and have had over 15 at some periods over the last few years.
where did you 2 go to college coz i had spinys at my college too!!!!!
I went to Pencoed College, nr Bridgend South Wales,
They had loads of different animals, but not many exotic mammals, so I donated two female Cairan Spiny Mice to them.

I went to Askham Bryan College in York and we had the Cairo spiny mice - little buggers! I think mine are known as Golden Spiny mice - hopefully I can find a male otherwise we won't be breeding them at all!

Have you tried Simon's Rodents, have you heard of them?, I got my Spiny Mice and a few other's from them a few years ago. I would try to find their number if you would need it, they havent got a website (I think) but they did sell some exotic small-mammals, I found out about them in a old C&a birds, I might still have their number somewhere.
Thanks for that, but I have found some males today from an old friend I'm also getting some pygmy dormice, pygmy african mice, desert dormice and a few others tomorrow yipee!

Could you post some pics' of them when they are settled, I have never seen a Desert Dormouse, are you getting M/F pairs of any of them?
Next year I may step up my efforts of getting more small exotic mammals, at the momment though Im concentrating on building my knowledge and experience with snakes. Getting Steppe Ratsnakes, Trinket Snakes and a House Snake tommorrow.
very nice 
how bigs there cage that u keep them in
