First completed July 24, 2016, to build the small magnet mouse population. (This is the new model mouse: no more “mini-mousies” ’cuz they’ll all be this size.) From right to left, they’re in construction order: Northern and Southern Salt Marsh Harvest Mice, plus Die-Spot, Gray-Ears, Baldy, and Stripes Mouse.

Updated July 26 and 31, 2016, to build up the tails, first in the house mice, and then on third thought in the harvest mice. Tail surgery involved melting and trimming off the old wax and wool, weaving in additional wire, and restoring new flesh – while keeping the rump fur free of wax.

For now, Stripes could be yours right away; the rest have homes of their own. Write to the Salamander to discuss details of the adoption.
