I think you got it, dude. Mine have almost no smell, much less than norways let alone mice. They're much cleaner. They breed very readily, but grow slowly. I would recommend a 1.3 or 1.4 group, they seem happier and breed faster in groups.
Oh and they love to chew, a cardboard box every so often or even a block of untreated wood would be probably be appreciated.
