They’ve been popular in the States for years. Apparently a pretty good pet, but prone to ‘marking their territory a bit’. They are of course illegal here to stop poachers, but I wonder if that’s the right idea. No-one poaches wild mice which they sell in pet stores, and if it gets loose it’s a native so not much of a problem. They would possibly be cheap and easy enough to breed that it would make poaching not so lucrative.
