remember the modeling clay i've been mentioning? now he needs a day or so to dry out so he can be lathered in paint
just to give some context why he isn't that detailed (the paint will help with that hopefully), he's a smol boi

I really like my job (meaning that I find the work itself soothing on my ADHD, filled with tiny details that I can organize, project-oriented and not client-facing!) but I fucking hate my job (meaning that everyone around me sucks and no one listens to me and I wind up taking on the work of 2-3 people on a consistent basis to meet deadlines and I can't find another job that I would like enough/that pays me this much so I have a hard time leveraging boundaries or demanding a raise because if they call my bluff I have nowhere else to go).

If any of my followers know mouse behavior or follow blogs who do, I have a question. The more active, stronger of the two mice babies I'm taking care of does this thing consistently when I take him out for feeding and I'm wondering what it means. I've also observed him doing the same behavior with his sibling whenever they find each other in their cage before they cuddle pile so I thought it was play or greeting behavior but I'm curious if that's actually what it is. The other mouse baby does not display this behavior toward me/my hand, only toward the sibling.
So when I take them out to feed them I usually keep my hand cupped around them like a wall blocking off most directions except for a little opening where I place the brush with formula on it to limit their ability to wander off and get distracted from the food. The stronger mouse baby, when I do this, presses itself into my palm, rolls over onto its back, and starts lightly kicking at my hand with its feet while rubbing his face against me. It doesn't make any distress sounds or try to nibble at me or anything, just kicks me for a bit then cuddles up to my hand and eats. When I move my hand away while he is doing this little kicking display he follows after my hand and continues trying to do it until he's apparently satisfied and ready to eat.
These are abandoned wild white footed mice babies who have not yet opened their eyes, for context for people who haven't seen my previous posts about it. I don't know how species specific mouse behavior is and I know these guys are not generally kept outside of labs so this might be a long shot, but I figured I'd ask y'all since Google seems to have absolutely no clue what I am looking for.
