Completed August 17, 2018: five merry mouselets and their distant cousin, all with pins rather than magnets. In the pics where they sort out from left to right, they’re in construction order: Goldie, Banda, Ruby, Dash, Star, and Cousin Burnadette.

All five mouse mice have scampered off to homes of their own, but Cousin Burnadette is still lurking in the menagerie, overshadowed by her yet more fanciful distant hexapod kin. She could be yours right away, so if she squeaks to you, Write to the Salamander to discuss details of the adoption.
