    Ok what kind of fatal disease does this adorable mouse have that’s causing it to do silly things?

    On second thought, I don’t actually want to know. Let’s just pretend it’s having fun :).

      I have good news for you. I just looked it up, because I thought the same as you.

      It’s just playing and/or showboating.

      This mouse actually has Silly Little Guy (SLG) syndrome. It’s not fatal, but it is lifelong in most mice.

      I’ve had a few pet mice, and some of them just like to have fun doing silly shit like this. I’ve seen them go really fast in a wheel, then hang on so they whip around on inertia, that guy also had SLG, but lived a full life.
