The other day we went to replenish our live mice supply. To make a long story short, the place keeps their feeder mice on the salesfloor so you can see all of what they have, and my son decided that the moment that we were being helped by an employee he needed to go check something out in another aisle, so the employee got our mice while I got my son. So we get the mice home and low and behold there was a colored mouse in the mix, and of course being different my daughter wants to see her. So now we have a "rescued" mouse (rescued from being dinner anyway..). I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a mouse like this before and what it's markings are considered. Plus she is actually kinda cute so I just wanted to share. Right now she is living in our feeder tank, but I am thinking about getting her maybe a fancy mouse friend and her own setup and moving her into my daughters room. My daughter at the moment is calling her Ratatouille... we just got her that movie not too long ago..LOL.

Anyway here are a few pics.




The stripe goes all the way to the tummy on both sides and it is very even lined, like she has a belt on. She also has a bit of white on her tummy and at the very tip of her tail. She has actually been very good, hasn't tried to bite anyone, will stay on your hand, just needs to be worked with a little more to get her used to being held. Thanks for any responses in advance!!
