And then there’s “Cousin” Grasshopper, who is hardly a cousin at all; she’s a Grasshopper Mouse – still a rodent, but a different genus and species, and a very different lifestyle. She eats scorpions for preference, but will snack on other mice when they present themselves.
Misty is still looking for a home, but the rest of the mouse mice are out and about in the world. In 2024, Cousin Grasshopper took one trip to a craft show and left for a home of her own, but you’ll find a couple of her carnivorous relatives looking for homes under Creature 226. Write to the Salamander to discuss details of the adoption.
