PET MICE PREDICT WEATHER AND SHARE HOME HABITS

A reader describes two white pet mice named Ete and Grace who live in a grape crate lined with cotton. They wake for meals, avoid sharing dishes, wash after eating, and act as weather predictors by storing sunlit items when cold or warm air when conditions change. They display social play, with games like tag and handshakes, and occasionally sleep outside during warm nights.
