I picked up two mice last week for Kashmire, both adults, both very handleable. Last night, the one that is slated for dinner on Saturday started acting like a hopper, frantically trying to escape his Kritter Keeper (I clean it out every other day, fresh food each day) and when I took him out to hold him briefly, the little bugger bit me.

Do you think I have an "ornery" mouse, or could there be something wrong with him, and I should take advantage of the pet store's live trade in policy and get a different one for him. If there's any risk of this mouse being sick and possibly passing something on to Kash, I don't want to feed it to him.

Prior to last night, he's been a very content mouse, very gentle and mostly sleeps.
