This page now has a lot of correct information and I think the banner can be removed.--βjweþþ (talk) 08:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Is it possible for mice to breed themselves in the chassis of a car in the back??

[edit] Good article

I have edited the part of the page that referred to a "different process of natural selection operating in tame mice than in their wild cousins" or something to that point. Obviously, natural selection - -selection by the blind forces of nature -- operates on wild animals. However, people breeding different colours and patterns of mice according to their own preferences does not constitute any form of 'natural selection'. This is 'artificial selection', and it has absolutely nothing to do with the 'survival of the fittest'; rather, it refers to the 'selective reproduction of the prettiest' - Tanuchenka. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.190.200 (talk) 16:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

With a little elbow grease, we could get this article up to good status in no time. youngamerican (talk) 21:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newspaper bedding

... mice can be given newspaper for nesting, as the ink is soy based and nontoxic

I'm a little uncomfortable with this statement -- are you sure it applies everywhere? Or just where you buy your local? --Jquarry 09:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

This would be OR, so I've never included it, but my vet says that all US newspapers are safe. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
