Yesterday I cleaned the mouse's cage. While I was cleaning their cage, I had Bambina and No-Name in a tall, green bucket in the yard while I washed out their glass cage; which was plastered with wet shavings, shredded cardboard tubes, and mouse food, among other things. The mice have this very very VERY ANNOYING HABIT of running around their cage like maniacs in the middle of the night, dumping their food and water and chewing holes through their cardboard play tubes. So I have to clean their cage like ALL THE TIME.... and it gets really annoying. Like, really.
Anyways, while I cleaning the cage, the mice were running around in their green bucket. I had my back turned and the second I looked away, my dog Sally came asniffin' (yes, that really is a word) and stuck her head in the bucket, trying to eat the mice. LUCKILY, I saw her. Then I screamed. And then, I threw dirt at her. She ran away, of course, and the mice were fine. But it was a close call.
So, anyways, I made an observation that day... I believe No-Name has ADHD. I'm serious. Once I put the mice back in their clean cage, No-Name ran around the whole cage for like twenty minutes. In tubes. Out of tubes. In circles. Over Bambina. Under Bambina. Across the wheel. Around the wheel. You get the point.
All this time Bambina was just sitting in the corner looking bewildered. Then about halfway through No-Name's great escapade, she crawled into her little cardboard hut and went to sleep.
Later that day, I had the mice on my couch; Bambina was in my lap, No-Name was running insanely back and forth across the top of the couch. So yeah, I don't think they sell pills of that sort for mice. But if they did, I would buy her some....
