You may not see them but you’ll hear them “squeak”.🐭🧀

Just like good old Mikey, the 'squeaker ' of the house🙂

Great for the mice, they don't have to pay a penny for them🙂
I wonder if said mice will think the vision they are seeing will be taken as the real thing to them?

That's probably the premise they're going on, but the mice will use others senses like smell and touch, and get confused when things don't 'agree'.

Interesting point. I wonder if they took that into account in their research? At least they are not being injected with poisons to see how fast they die.

Thank goodness for small mercies.
