These Deer Mice are really great. The best thing about them is you have to feed them at 8AM, 11AM, 2PM, 5PM, and 8PM, drop by drop, slowly, so as to not kill them. But that barely tops the fact that you need to rub their genitals with a warm, wet towel after feeding them so that they'll go to the bathroom. This is cool too: you can tell if you've fed them enough by looking through their transparent skin and organs and look to see how much milk has entered their bellies. Oh, and usually they die before they get to grow up and get fur and eyes and stuff. So it's all worth it, really.
We have 2 out of 5 left. Stay strong, little survivors.
This mouse genital-rubbing needs to go on a resume somewhere.
ReplyDeleteit's called "stimulating." Indeed a resume builder.
