When we had them they were wonderful! They loved running on their wheel, which leads one to rewrite Nick Drake songs so that they're about Egyptian spiny mice: a good thing all around! However they breed like crazy and you wind up having to release a bunch of them in a field across the street. Some of them then venture north & go on to great success in the pop music field so it's all good in the end

This is a really irresponsible thing to do! Anyone who knows anything about biology knows that the introduction of "alien" species into the environment, whether deliberate or accidental, can have disastrous effects - rabbits in Australia, cane toads in Australia, coypu and mink in the UK.....the list goes on.
