Notes:   This is the third time these little guys have appered in my son's house - twice in the broom cupboard, and now in my grandson's toy drawer. All have been quite undisturbed by handling, and will happily scramble about one's clothing with no apparent unease. Is this characteristic? Why are they so apparently relaxed? Any info would be welcome.
