Should I put a camera out there? Do you wanna see footage? I wonder if they’ll use the footage 👀

What did you think?

Julie Kobylarz has left a dish of grain and seeds beside the woodpile, with a little exercise wheel nearby. The question isn't simply whether her released mice will settle in. It's whether they'll turn up inside her house again.

That backyard experiment is the most watched of Mousetales' six uploads this week, reaching roughly 56,000 views. Julie normally takes trapped mice farther into the woods; here, she tries releasing them closer to home and identifying them with a small dab of pink glitter nail polish on the back of the neck. She describes the marking as safe, though several viewers raise questions about the polish and whether it could make the animals more noticeable to predators.

The invitation to add a game camera gets a straightforward yes from commenters. Others want to know whether the same mice return to the traps, and one specifically asks to see the outdoor wheel in action. For a channel built around wildlife rehabilitation and humane trapping, it's a particularly on-brand viewing request: more mouse footage, please.

Elsewhere in the week's uploads, a baby mouse develops a liking for its wheel, a curled-up animal finds an unlikely resting place in a pill bottle, and Julie invites a funny name for another small resident. The newest baby-feeding upload, whose title recalls little Walnut, is also among the channel's busiest videos right now.

Mousetales added about 1.2 million views over the week, with subscribers unchanged. Its daily viewing is well below its usual level, while nearby animal channels TheGoodHype and Cesar Millan are running above their own usual daily audiences. Within Julie's catalog, the backyard experiment is drawing the most daily attention, followed by those bottle-fed babies.
