Yes. What I meant was since she is not doing anything to prevent them, be careful.

Aha. But if she likes mice, it might not be a problem for Agota? Hygiene is an issue though, and they do leave little "pebbles" everywhere. Apparently it's not good to vacuum them up either...you have to dispose of the droppings carefully, as they can be toxic. I read about it on a few websites that discouraged vacuuming even dried pellets up.

That's why I think it depends on the number. One or two cute little mice should be fun. But if the place is crawling with them, it may be difficult on all the points you mentioned.
