The mice aren't big they are fuzzies and I am worried about giving her any bigger of mice because she is not super smart and bites them from the side and then has to move it to the butt or head position to put it in her mouth all the way. But I am thinking of trying bigger mice she only has one more of her fuzzies. And the stick getting in her mouth freaked me out because SHE COULDN'T CLOSE HER MOUTH. Her mouth was lopsided and she was clearly very uncomfortable but I love the idea of cardboard! But I don't know how to use paper towels I feel like it would be too possible to make mold and yeah I think I will look into types of carpets for her but I would have to get multiple for when she does her business.
But thank you both!
