Animal House

Here I as an animal caretaker tell you my stories about the mice and rats that we take care of. These stories are about everyday life things in the life of these funny animals.

Escaping mice

Remember those world war II movies where the prisoners tunnel there way to Freedom?

This story is almost like that.

One day i look through the door window in an animal room and see a mouse walking on the floor.

OOPS where does that one come from. So i go in the room catch the mouse and leave the room. Then the next morning again i look through the little round window in the door and see again a mouse on the floor.
Of course i also go out and catch this one. Ok strange but true all the cages where closed properly and i didn't find any other loose once.

But then when i start changing the cages i find an empty cage..... and the card says that there should be two mice in that cage.

And then i see what happened. This cage has a big hole in the bottom corner, big enough for a mouse to get out. I never found out how the hole got there (the cage is from hard plastic) but i found there escape route.
