The mice are in their release pen. It's designed to give them a good start out in the wild. There's a nesting area with 2 exits in case of danger. A food cache area that'll hold a couple weeks of food. The "hallways" on either end have ingress/egress holes that are offset from the holes to get into the core of the pen, thus reducing drafts and ensuring predators like cats can't reach in with a paw or even look in and see the mice in their central nest. Ingress/egress holes are 3/4 inch so rats and other predators can't get in. The overhangs of the roof provide rain coverage but also protection from overhead predators.
So far they love it. Zipping around all over and exploring.
