Usually, if the mouse is infected or mutated in a given manner, its innards would need to be removed and studied, to determine what effects the mutation/infection had on them. This kills the mouse.
I mean, in my opinion skinny pigs have been mutated in a harmful way, just not as a result of whatever tests they were subjected to. But if you have a pet scrotum, you can knit it little sweaters so it isn’t constantly shivering
My sister did, you just need approval from some government offices so you don’t get mice that’ve had rabies-ebola-smallpox-anthrax tested on them getting out

Is that permitted?

Yes, if there is no need to collect tissues or anything

I’m guessing those infected or mutated in ways harmful aren’t allowed?
