Let us know if you hear anything else about the mice. |

Stress is a secondary fatality problem too, as Harvest Mice HAVE to climb and MUST cling with their tails or they suffer.
So, as promised I have reported back. I STILL think it is wrong to sell these animals, but I'm not a lover of the pet-trade to start with. I prefer to sit quietly somewhere and watch critters being critters, naturally!
