Carth Blair 1973 Journal July 28 Ruland Valley, Lincoln Co., we kept a grasshopper mouse we caught at Wolf's Hole. After 2 days in captivity it gave birth to a litter of 3. At Big Creek campground he found a slab covered with grasshoppers, and we both caught about 60 of them, keeping them in a cage w/ cheesecloth over the top. From this he fed the mouse 4 or 5 per day, and each was attacked voraciously. I do not think we could have passed the inspection station easily w/ our cargo of plants, animals, and insects, so a return was in order. We arrived home about 3:00 PM, and I quickly installed the U-Rats in my garage for the night. I discovered that 2 had died on the trip back. These two had been collected in the Dunes Area of Sm. It's Creek Valley, and were placed at the bottom of the last two rows of cages in the station wagon rack, not exposed to the effects of the air conditioning. In addition, he had only used chew toys in them cages,
