I'd be less concerned about the mice crawling all over the lego than I would
be about the safety of the mouse.  LEGO constructs can be easily be cleaned,
repaired, or even replaced at a nominal cost  If a careless 'bot happened to
go right over the mouse, however, the mouse could be seriously injured and
might have to be put down.  Can we put any kind of value on someone else's
pet?

I was more noting that it's hard to herd critters that can crawl over
you to escape.

W/R/T the safety of the mice...well, local pet shops do sell mice for
snake food,
so while I do deplore needless harm to animals, I don't see the
possibility of
harm to small numbers of mice as a great issue to worry about.
