Well I hope to god the people who want to lop off limps are less than 100% serious, but just to be safe, food coloring isthe standard solution for your basic pet-owner.
And tie-dyeing is probably out of the question.
Mix up a strong Koolaid solution and drop the mouse in it for a few seconds. You can even dye a little, yappy dog that way. Red Koolaid makes them a bright pink and looks pretty Kool.
Henna?
I know from experience that a homemade “deskunking” bath of tomato juice on a white dog will produce a tomatoey/skunkey-scented dog that is pinkish-orange in hue.
Wait a sec…I’ve almost got an idea…It’s at the tip of my tongue…must concentrate…must concentrate
\smoke coming out from top of head\
Eureka! Put taps or squeaky shoes on one of them.
There’s our new tagline - “Over-thinking Things - It’s What We Do.” Yeah, baby!
If you have an entire herd, it might be better to brand them, vs dye them. This would be permanent, and guard against rustlers.
Point.
Carry on.
This is my new project, I think - an enormous herd of mice dyed cyan, magenta, yellow and black (or I might just buy naturally black ones) - then train them to behave as an gigantic VDU.
(That is, unless I can get glowing mice in red, green and blue)
May I say that this is the coolest idea I’ve seen all week?
Thanks, however, as with many of my ideas, the implementation is going to be the big hurdle.
I don’t think “herd” is the correct group name for mice, but I can’t think of the correct one–if there is one–at the moment.
It’s not necessary to blind them. After all, with three dyed mice, see how they run.
A mischief of mice, apparently.
A colony.
2000 Flushes works great up until…er…2000 Flushes or so…
man, I love this place!
(yeah, I’ve had a rought time at work this morning, and this thread just brightened up my day…thanks!)
Glowing mice only come in green.
Fluorescent mice, however, come in various colors
