Because I feel like wasting some time, have some 'profiles' of my 5 (!) mice.
John: Well, she's John. Wild and crazy fur; used to be really curly but, as is the case with most curly mice, it got less curly as she matured, and now just looks like permanent bed hair. So, John. Likes to climb around and explore, never content to sit still, but doesn't mind being petted. Often to be seen on the wheel with Caldwell.
Rodney: Aw, she's so cute! Second cutest mouse. Much calmer than John; likes to sit still more than explore, although she doesn't mind following in John's footsteps. Has a chubby little body & a chubby little face. Has the adorable habit of closing her eyes when I pet her or give her kisses.
Zelenka: Originally named Ford, has been re-christened to even out the scientists and the military. She loves to flip in the wheel, as I posted a while ago, and puts up with pets and kisses stoically. Still growing, but so far she's the second smallest mouse.
Caldwell: Big and cranky. Tries desperately to avoid being picked up, usually fleeing to the wheel where I chase her off into my hand. Fat, but loves to run in the wheel more than any of my other mice. Not too friendly, but doesn't mind climbing all over you. Tries to avoid petting and kisses as much as possible.
AND last but not least...
Ronon: The perfect little sweetheart! So tiny it looks like a hard puff of wind would flatten her, she's calm and content to sit in your hand and groom. Takes pets and kisses in stride, and most adorable of all, *gives* kisses. When presented with a nose or other facial feature, proceeds to lick it into submission with her tiny little tongue. SOOO CUTE!! Cutest mouse, hands down.
