That background is very cool. Wonder if I could buy something similar...

Can’t wait to hear what you decide on for the other names.
I never knew mice could be satins either, but I'm currently studying genetics and mice are one of my model animals. I've learned a bunch about their colors, patterns, and fur types. I love their tails too! It's their tails that are responsible for many people's hatred of them which I never understood Shrew is definitely the friendliest of the bunch and lets me touch her tail. The orange and white one (still a no name) also allows me. The third one, who is very shy, doesn't like being touched though. That's really nice that you nursed that mouse back to health, hope Jerry turned out alright.

I'll definitely be sure to share their names once I can decide
