Are African pygmy mice legal2007-11-24 21:57:46

Are they covered by the 2003 CDC ban on African rodents? The ban specifically lists tree squirrels (Sciurus), rope squirrels (Funisciurus), dormices (Graphiurus), Gambian giant pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus), brush-tailed porcupines (Atherurus africanus), and striped mice (Typomys). If African pygmy mice (Mus Minutoides) aren't on the list, are they legal?
