Gallery: Skateboarding mice

TORONTO – First he taught them to surf, now Shane Willmont has trained his mice to skateboard.

The 42-year-old from Australia began to teach his pet mice to skate after it was “too cold” in the winter to take them to the beach to surf, according to Courier Mail.

Willmott also said that despite critics labeling him as “cruel,” he loves his mice and would never do anything to harm them.

“I’ve never lost a mouse in 10 years of teaching them to surf and skate,’ he told the Gold Coast Bullentin.
