A New Hampshire pet owner didn’t bother to separate his pet mice by sex, and the mouse gestation period is only 20 days, so these li’l freaks multiplied like crazy. He brought 75 of them to an animal shelter, promising to return with “150 more.” He actually meant 150 more tubs of mice, totalling around 1,000. If you’re in the Northeast and want to own or foster a mouse, it’s currently a buyer’s market.
