As the fall is ending, mice have been looking for accommodations and food for their existence in the following chilly wets months. Mice are pretty fascinating individuals (although I don’t like them- at all) and here are some fascinating realities about the cousin to the rat. Mice can breed year-round with one female able to produce over 60 babies in a year. These omnivorous creatures will pretty much eat anything they can get. Mice have the astonishing skill to squash their bodies which allows them to jam themselves through openings as small as 5mm- roughly the diameter of a pen, so thoroughly inspect your house for any infinitesimal holes and gaps. Mice have really poor vision so they rely on touch, smell and hearing to navigate their world. Their teeth grow at the rate of 0.5mm in 24 hours so they need to continuously chew on everything to keep their teeth short. A mouse’s hearing is a lot better then ours as they can hear up to 100kHz (sound good). Mice are also know to jump pretty high – over a half a meter.
