They're all abandoned or orphaned... and I can't count them as they keep squirming. There are likely between 20 and 30 there. And be careful- some of them are popcorn mice.

*head tilted slightly and bee lines for Joshua and the mice* ...I have to ask: why so many and where are their mothers?

Good. *grins* They're cute little things. *so. entranced. by. them.*

[hardly_naive]

Want to hold some?

[givemylove]

Sure! *sits down next to him and holds out a hand*

[hardly_naive]

*gives her three babies*

[givemylove]

*and immediately starts conversing with them, yes* *she's so weird*
