The Mouse & The Vole

A wild baby Wood Mouse and a wild baby Field Vole saved from the jaws of my cat Cleo and put in a Hamster cage for protection become the best of friends. Being totally different species they were at first suspicious of each other, but are now inseparable. In this short 2 minute film you can see how they play together. They are especially talented at doing multiple revolutions in the Hamster wheel. It is fascinating to compare their different features; the Wood Mouse has huge eyes, ears and tail, the Field Mouse has small eyes and tail and smaller ears flatter to the head.They are both incredibly cute looking in their own way, and when you see them cuddling up together towards the end of the film, its difficult not to be moved by their friendship.
