Most folks don't like to have mice in their
homes, but they are always welcome here at Jeannie's Cottage.
This little group of mice includes from left: Mopsy Grey
the Ganz Cottage mouse, Chedda a Boyds mouse, in back
is Cheese N Crackers, who is actually a Boyds Bear, but
some bears will do anything for a little cheese. In front is
Murphy, a Puffkin made by Swibco (retired) and the white
mouse is a little Boyds mouse named Chutney Cheeseworthy
, and at far right is Mopsy Brown from Ganz. Check our
Gift Shop

Ty
Attic Treasure mouse. And the blue mice are Cheesecake
the Mouse and Little Cheesecake. They are Avon Full "o"
Beans from the year 2000. At far right is Cheddar the Beanie
Baby.
Mice are very small rodents, only about
3 inches in length, not including the tail.
Mice eat just about anything, including
such items as glue and soap. When the female builds her nest,
she uses paper scraps, feathers, cotton, leaves and other available
materials. Females are capable of producing eight litters every
year and can have as many as twelve babies in each litter. Those
babies can then begin having babies of their own when they are
only one month old.
The house mouse is not native to North
America. It was originally from Asia.
