PINKY MOUSE IN A JAR 

The Science

The house mouse (Mus musculus) and various species of field mice are prolific small mammals known for their rapid life cycles. 

The name pinky is used because newborn mice are born in an extremely underdeveloped, or altricial, state. At birth, the mouse is completely hairless, revealing the pink or reddish skin underneath, and the eyes and ear canals are sealed shut. The skin is thin enough to appear translucent, often allowing the milk spot in the stomach to be visible.

This pinky stage typically lasts for about one week to ten days. Once the fur starts to grow in, usually by the end of the second week, the young mice are sometimes referred to as “fuzzies” before they reach their juvenile stage.

 

The Story

Pinky mice are the smallest size of frozen mice, making them ideal for very young reptiles.
