Do your mice have trouble with dirty balls? Mine do. I've got two computers here, two mice and a pair of dirty balls. Nothing worse than dirty balls, (so I'm told) and if your mouse is running around with a grubby nut it causes all sorts of problems. I don't know if I press down too hard on him but seems no matter what mouse or mice I have, they top up with dirty balls....happens every time. I suppose if mice get grit and fluff in their balls, well it's enough to upset any mouse. I know my mice do funny things when their balls are playing up. Sort of judder and refuse to move until a certain level of mouse ball cleanliness is observed. I really don't like cleaning mouse balls. Holding them on their little back while you carry out the delicate ball removal operation. I mean what do you clean em with? Should you give em a really good scrubbing or should it be more a gentle carress. Soapy water and a soft sponge or a quick spit'n'polish with an old rag? I mean just how should you treat your mouse balls. Obviously I recognise that my mice are dragging their balls below them on a hard surface for hours on end but really!! Mice are built to last, they should be able to opertate with dirty balls. If push came to shove I'm sure I could.
How do you treat your mouse balls, what do you do to keep your mouses balls in tip top condition?

I'm stuck in a nut rut here guys, I think I've dropped a bollock with these mouse balls....Any suggestions?


P.S....I tried the vet....he was no help.
P.P.S. Mouse the Admin'......Stop wincing man.
