Nothing's worse than trying to catch loose mice. We had to wear jumpsuits, hairnets, face masks, gloves, and booties when working with the mice, so running after them was more like an exercise in waddling around, swearing at the little thing. "Gah! You !@$^$%@# mouse! Come back here!"
Always a good time. And if you're lucky, they'll bite you, too.
yup, well, thats why i dropped it in the first place. nothing like learning to scruff mice and being afraid to get bitten to set you up for disaster. my shaky hands and sweaty gloves led to a loose grip and as soon as he went for my finger i freaked and dropped him. f*cker bounced so fast i didnt have time to get the lid down on the cage. and so there we were in our gowns and booties laying across the floor to stop it from going under any doors or immovable equipment. good times.
...and that's why i like guinea pigs SO much more than mice. they just sit there and scream, no matter what you try to do. (unless you hypnotize them first...totally hilarious).
