I’m sorry, **Malleus** , for the loss of your mouse. You gave him a good life, for the short time he had, and that was a good action. I’d like to say “mitzvah”, but I don’t want to seem disrespectful.

Sorry to hear that. You didn’t necessarily do anything that could have been avoided. Raising small baby animals is very difficult at best.

Aw, that’s a bummer. You tried. He sure was a cutie.

And I’m glad I didn’t have to warn you that unless you decided to permanently adopt him, he’d have probably ended up being snake food. That would have been awful.
