Chatter Mouse

The chatter mouse originally comes from Tibet, where it lives in caves of tibetanian stalactite.

Picture of chatter mouseIt lives by a spesial kind of grass, which only grows in tibetanian mountain slopes. Experimental growing are currently being tried out in Norway, and they are very promising.

The chatter mouse is sensitive on water quality, and is fed on the Swedish mineral water "Ramlösa".

A specimen has been imported to a zoo in southern Norway, with the help of the department of foreign affairs. Permission to export the animal is difficult to obtain, because the mouse has been used in the worship of the tibetanian idol Hung-Schu.

The chatter mouse is very talkative, hence the name.
