When a man arrived at a New Hampshire animal shelter last week claiming he wanted to surrender 150 pet mice, the shelter was ready to take them in. But the problem soon became much more mouse-ive when he clarified that he had 150 tubs full of mice to surrender, not 150 individual rodents. The overwhelmed mouse owner initially brought 73 mice last Monday, the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said in a Thursday news release.
The NHSPCA also said they were previously living in 'filthy plastic tubs that hadn’t been cleaned in what appeared to be a long time.' They've put out a call to the entire New England area through the New England Federation of Humane Organizations for assistance with transferring some mice out of the NHSPCA to make room for the incoming tubs, the release stated.
