Mice love yellow & blue!

Personally, I really love living in a rural area......seeing the turtles and deer in your own backyard, the sounds of crickets when it's quiet, seeing the seasons change and the stars at night! There's nothing like it and I feel we live in paradise. However, there is one thing I just can't get used to: mice. I'm not afraid of these little creatures and I even think they look cute. (I used to have Guinea pigs and Gerbils as a kid) But I do NOT like sharing my art supplies with them! Somehow, they must have gotten really hungry and started eating right through the closed tubes, to get to the oil paint. There's even little teeth marks in the paint to prove my story! They only seemed to go for the blues and the yellows.....and did not bother with any other color. Now, I had always thought mice were color-blind so I assume there must be something in the yellow and blue oil paints that attracted them to these specific colors. I wish I could have told them: don't eat the cadmium yellows!!! These are highly toxic colors, even for humans, but I was not around when they had their food fest in my studio. So I'm sure they must have had pretty bad indigestion afterwards and all I found were the leftovers: yellow and blue mouse turds.....honestly!!!
