WYSPCH4?

Roy in AUSTRIA sent this picture of his mouse Chili. He writes: "...in my opinion mice are relatively uncomplicated to take care of and fun to watch, but most of all they are just cute. I can't understand why some people are frightened by mice. I think the sick people will love it."

Austrian mice are much cuter than North American mice.

ummm... isn't that a gerbil? =P but yes, I do agree, I've no idea why anyone is afraid of any rodents really =D

pretty sure that's a gerbil, but what the hell, this is what I sick person come here for.

That the gerbiliest looking mouse I've ever seen. Who knows though - perhaps the pet mice in Australia have hairy tails and long bodies!

I used to have a pet mouse she was very sweet and adorable. Sadly, she, like all mice did not live that long (about a year and a half).

Actually I got two of theses beauties :-)
The second one is called Paprika ^^

Posted by: roy | July 19, 2008 at 02:42 PM

I have like 12 of these,, except they're not in a cage,, and they won't hang around and be cute for me... And then my cats eat them,, which is way not cute...

Posted by: Mike | July 19, 2008 at 03:30 PM

This is cute! I approve. :D

Posted by: c h r i s s y | July 19, 2008 at 03:37 PM

Awww super cute. I agree that it's a gerbil though...I had a whole bunch at one point.

Posted by: Katie | July 19, 2008 at 05:42 PM

They are very cute when they're pets and in cages. Not so much when you live in the boonies and they get into the air vents in the winter. At that point, I can sympathize with people who don't like mice. :)

This little beauty, however, is positively adorable.

Posted by: scotia | July 19, 2008 at 06:03 PM

Totally a mouse.

Posted by: Elle | July 19, 2008 at 08:58 PM

Mice are cute!!! awww!!

Posted by: Courto | July 19, 2008 at 09:16 PM

Exactly what I (a Sick People, and also a CCL) come here for - very cute! Also my vote would also have to be - gerbil.

Posted by: ddw | July 20, 2008 at 02:26 AM

Definitely a gerbil. A cute gerbil, but certainly not a mouse!

Posted by: Elisa | July 20, 2008 at 08:10 AM

As a member of the Sick People, I say WHEE!!!

What brand of tea is that?

Posted by: Rena | July 20, 2008 at 08:38 AM

come on guys, trust me, it's a mouse, not a gerbil - the gerbils in the pet shop were sleeping all the time
mice aren't always white and ugly

Posted by: roy | July 20, 2008 at 10:30 AM

you may want to watch a video of both:

Dude, I'm sorry your petstore put the wrong label on these gerbils, but that's what they are and you should treat them accordingly.

You can tell by the tail and the way they behave (I checked your vid on youtube and it convinced me, these are gerbils).

Posted by: Lyanne | July 20, 2008 at 11:58 AM

This is a gerbil, as much as possible.
Pet shop assistants sometimes have no idea what they sell.

Posted by: Bead | July 20, 2008 at 03:07 PM

Cute whatever it is. I too thought gerbil, but now I'm not sure. Maybe in Austria there's a gerbil/mouse hybrid. I begged for a mouse when I was a kid and got a rat instead - all rodents are awesome!
