Rodent Birth Control - UPDATE
Two years ago, I posted about a project being conducted in Australia to control rodent populations, specifically mice.
A reader asked if I have heard more. I have not, but I did find an updated website for the project. I have also contacted the scientist I was in touch with back then, and will let you know what I find out...

SEATTLE - Thieves broke into an animal shelter and pet shop in northeast Seattle, killing several small animals and opening cages.
The thieves hacked through the front door of Animal Talk pet store and shelter in the Roosevelt neighborhood sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning. Volunteers arrived to find animals scattered everywhere and several dead animals on the floor.
The 44 cats fought each other and hunted the smaller animals.
Some animals suffered an even crueler fate.
"Some of the animals were obviously stepped on intentionally, they were flat as pancakes," said shelter owner Missy Young.
They took all the reptiles, including an iguana, and some merchandise.
Staff and volunteers recovered all of the cats that were let loose and are setting traps for the smaller animals. Many of the cats were injured and will need vet care.
"If you want to take something take it..but you do not have to harm the animals in the process. that is totally malicious," said Young.
Damage is estimated in the thousands of dollars.
"This is an afront to the neighborhood," said volunteer Gaye Davies. "Animal talk has been a mecca for people with questions, people with lost animals."
Young warns that the stolen iguana is mean and he bites.
Police have no suspects.

Clara mouse takes on the world
Clara mouse must be feeling better. She is such a grouchy little old lady mouse.
Clara mouse does not have time for this silliness known as taking pictures. She would rather have her feeding and then cuddle.
Clara mouse's recovery and improvement
She may look a bit sad in this picture, but Clara mouse is doing very, very well. Her eyes are now much more clearer than how they appear in this picture. Clara mouse is using her front legs and the right front claw that I had thought was paralyzed is now open. I've seen her eating and grooming on her own. But she still expects me to give her PediaSure and gets very excited when the applicator is presented to her.
