I've gotta say, hearing people's stories of having kept a wild mouse, I'm feeling kind of bad that I turned it out into the cold. It's not like I don't have various cages and tanks from previous little pets.

This one seemed pretty calm compared to others that have gotten in, so who knows? I've had weird pets before.
