Britain s largest animal charity is looking to rehome more than 130 mice that were rescued from a home where a pet owner found themself in over their head.
The RSPCA was called to a house in Atherstone, Warwickshire, in April after becoming aware Natal Multimammate mice were being kept in poor conditions. Upon arrival, they found 136 mice in the home, which may have been the result of the breed being able to have large litters and the owners failing to neuter them or separate the mice by sex.

PC Steph Barrett, the man who trains Badger at the Surrey and Sussex Police Dog Unit, said the dog regained trust in humans after a lot of training.
“After a lot of love and training, he has regained trust in humans. He’s still got that cheeky side, but he’s obsessed with work. He makes me smile all day,” she said.
The road to recovery
Badger and the three other puppies needed special care and four different types of ear and eye drops four times a day for recovery, according to a vet.
As the treatment went on, the dogs were named after Stranger Things characters El, Lucas, Mike, and Dustin. However, Dustin s name was changed to Badger when he was rehomed.
