It definitely is sad, and cruel to both the reptile and rodent! I know it's the circle of life, but I feel that every mouse needs a home. Turns out I may have a pregnant female on my hands! Better start looking for homes. I always have lots of bins and tanks lying around as I used to be very into fishkeeping. Now I just have loads of empty cages that are too small for hamsters, and I'm not in the market for any more gerbils. I just enjoy making bin cages for literally no reason, which sometimes comes in handy
