Mice Mice Mice Mice

So a few days ago I had a customer come into the store and decide that they wanted to get two of our mice.

Which usually I try discourage customers from buying our mice as they tend to be one of the more smelly creatures we sell.
And if our mice get returned, more often than not the main reason is because they stink. 
And they do.
At least their urine does.
Especially if the mice decide that they want to mark up their cage.

So I tried to talk the customer out of buying them.
But they were adamant that having the mice would be fine and that their three boys would love them.

So I went ahead and filled out the paperwork, and went to grab the two mice.
Only for the customer to notice that we had a third mouse in the cage.
And they thought it was only fitting to have 3 boy mice for their 3 boy children. 

I was less than enthusiastic but yah it made sense to have one mouse for each kid.

And I totally expected the customer to come back wanting to return the mice within the week.

So I wasn't totally surprised to see the customer again in the store today.

However.
They weren't here to return the mice.
No, they wanted to get a fourth mouse.
Why?
Because they also have a daughter who decided that she also wanted a mouse of her own.

So the customer had come into the store again to get that fourth mouse for her.

Which meant it's own little trickiness because introducing mice from different cages...doesn't always end well.

So I gave the customer some tips on how to try and introduce the mouse in with the others so that they don't end up fighting.

And sent the customer on their way.

Hopefully things go well with all four mice in the home....
