Nature is wonderful and beautiful. It is also huge and constantly surprising, which means that we never stop learning new things about everything that goes on outside the comfort of our own homes.

For example, did you know that certain mice, specifically harvest mice, are known to sleep inside flowers?

These awwdorable little creatures are so small that they can be supported by flower petals, usually tulips, and sleep there as they hide from birds and snakes. They love the pollen, and they have plenty of insects to eat all around them, which means they don't really ever have to leave their tiny, flowery homes.

When we learned about this wonderful natural phenomenon, we simply had to know and see more, which is what led us to create this awwbsolutely heartwarming collection of tiny mice in their colorful and cosy homes. Scroll down to join us in celebration.
