#1 I find a mice family

I recently found a mouse near where i keep birdseed. when I looked at it closer and discoverd it's BABIES! they were so cute but it was dark so i only saw atleast two babbies .they were fatter then a regular mouse so i thought it was a rat .I looked up "rodents of south Texas" on Wikipedia  and it was a house mouse (Mus musculus). I learned  that the mice have litters of  3-14 and 5-10 litters per year! they will eat anythig they can find (including meat)though they prefer fruits  seeds and grains. I also learned that they will urinate on their young to identify kin.
