we got a new mouse.
the mouse came out of the "female" tank at the pet store.
while i was setting up the tank at home, spott was playing with the mouse. the mouse was disgruntled at the sudden change of surroundings, so every now and then, she would squeak her displeasure.
i put squeak into the tank where she proceeded to run around investigating everything, chew wood chips, figure out the exercise wheel, and stop every few minutes to squeak.
i wandered away briefly to post a bulletin on myspace about getting a new mouse.
upon returning to look at the mouse 5 minutes later, i noticed squeak suddenly stop and start cleaning herself vigorously. after a moment, she paused and looked up without changing out of the "curled to lick under-tail parts" position.
i noticed that, apparently, in the 45 minutes the mouse had been in our possession, its testicles had dropped.
"she" is a "he".
welcome home squeak. what an amusingly apt way to start a new life in our home.
