So, the mice are back on their "gourmet" mouse food diet. Six months ago, I bought them pellets, because I was a little short of cash, and they have been simply inconsolable. I have put in their wheel, had them do tricks, washed them, pet them, anything that I could think of, and then the food ran out. I did not have time to buy new food, so I gave them cheerios and a snap pea and called it good. Well, that was the ticket. Sluggish and morose for all these months, my mice pepped up and started to voraciously consume the cheerios.

Of course I felt dumb. I mean, I should have known that they would be affected by something as little as having food they didn't like. After all, they just LOSE THEIR MINDS whenever I clean their cage. (It takes five minutes. It's like... the most exciting thing in their whole lives). So, I sprung the 'big bucks' and got them the "gourmet" variety of mouse food. They are plumping up, cuddling, investigating their cage and that's all in one day. They are also a lot more excited about their food. Just goes to show, every little bit counts.

pets lives are much better than being a human...
