Warning: Cute Overload!

Four baby flying foxes who were separated from their mothers during fierce storms on Australia's Gold Coast are being cared for by volunteers at a wildlife centre.

World Rat Day

More Lady Mouse

Lady Mouse slows down enough for me to take a few pictures.

Introducing Lady Mouse

Introducing: Lady Mouse. Lady Mouse let me pick her up today. There was some initial kicking and squeaking but after few minutes she sat contently in my hand. At first Lady Mouse was not sure about being tufted and scritched but after a while she appeared to enjoy it.

Lady Mouse

We have a new adopted mouse who we have named Lady Mouse. She is a couple of months old with lavender-colored fur and the cutest face. Lady Mouse is still not sure about us and will kick and cry when I have tried to pick her up. But, Lady Mouse has never bitten me. Lady Mouse is not completely anti-social as I have caught her looking out and watching us and has even come up to say a quick HELLO when solicited before running away. I will try to get some pictures of Lady Mouse when she is ready...

Happy Year of the Rat!

Mighty Mouse

I hope this new strain of mouse means that eventually fancy mice bred with this line might live longer, healthier lives. One can hope...
