Do note, however, that this is not the "Ask Dr. Rodent" site, and I don't write back much! I'm not an expert in everything mousey, and what I mostly am looking for are suggestions for new links to be added here when I next get around to updating the site. I'm not able to help you with your science fair project or with your vermin infestation (these two are 90% of the mail I receive). Also, I know some existing links break, and I review and fix them all periodically with automated tools.
