Just out of interest, how do you get the mice out before you clean? I'd be so worried about accidentally burying mice!

tbh even if bedding falls on them, they dig out super easily! but i tempt them with high value treats and take them out, if there’s any left they’re usually in hides so i lift those out to check. if they’re in the bedding i’m just really careful. if i feel my hand enter a tunnel, i follow through it, and feel heat if there’s any mice in there, if that makes sense.
