Re: Emasculating the mice!

[Gayle Hodur <ghodur@REDSHIFT.COM>]

Cheri, I've seen these. They are like self adhesive labels, and they have a
hole in the middle so that you can seal over the ring that holds the mouse
ball in place while still allowing the ball to roll freely. They do work,
but they are a hassle to pick off when you want to clean the mouse. They
will keep out those who just like to casually twist off the ring and make
off with the ball, but if a student has any time at all unobserved it would
be quick work to slice around the label with a knife and twist the ring off
anyway.
