About a week ago we got some mice! Two of them are females and one a male. After a long time we finally decided on their names - one of the females' name is Inky. The other female is called Oats (my suggestion) and the male is Flip. I brought a cage in, but at Nature Land they keep them in an aquarium so Fiona (the teacher of Room 8) brought in her old aquarium for us to use. We definitely don't want the mice to get bored so each person in the class can make some sort of obstacles for them to play on for our homework. At the moment we've got lots of milk bottle tubes, houses, running wheel, shredded paper, gnawing log and a cardboard pyramid for them in the aquarium and they're probably not going to get bored because there are 25 children to play with them every day. The really exciting thing about them is that we are going to let them breed around twice so we can see how the mouse life cycle works, but I just want to see the baby mice! We chose a long haired-male, short-haired female and a long-haired female so if they breed we'll have different haired mice. The male is white with brown splotches. The long-haired female is white with black splotches and the other female is completely brown. I can't wait till they breed and when or if they do I'll give a post about them.
