A nursery inside a bottle

Wood records a mouse nursery in an empty bottle: nesting material filled the bottle, with a passage aligned to the neck and a hollow for the young. He says the accompanying illustration was drawn from the actual object[[cite:5]]. The story reports his account; it does not establish a general preference of mice for glass or light.
