Replacement feet for pet rodent...

    I've a Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical.
    She's beautiful.

    Due to my constant stroking of her smooth plastic fur across various surfaces, she's lost a few of her adorable little feet, and as such sometimes gets stuck while sliding across her exercise pad.

    Can anyone tell me where I might find some replacement or prosthetic feet so she may regain her lost agility?

    Will Logitech be of any help in the matter?

    Being an optical mouse, the distance between her two red eyes and the pad is a factor in how well she judge distance and motion, so any replacement feet would need to closely approximate her original ground-clearance lest she accidentally slip one time too many and find herself smattered across the floor in lots of tiny pieces.

    Her cousins, the MX series, don't appeal to me, so adopting a new mouse is out of the question. Too much emotional attachement you see.

    you could try a pound shop - maybe something there has little sticky pads you could remove ?

    If she wasn't so heavy the fall would not hurt so much.
    Now Optical Mice can loose weight without dieting !
    I not saying she is obese, just concerned for her health. :D

    She might be a little heavy, but at least I know when she lands on my shoulder after jumping from the book-case....

    I've heard of prosthetics like these and [url=]these[/url], but what I really want to do is take a sample of Dually's DNA, use it to make a clone and transplant feet from the clone to her.
    I've heard rumours of Logitech offering ready-harvested feet for little or no charge, but I'd like to know if anyone can verify this.

    The only fault I can find with Dually is that the tendons holding her feet on are more akin to Pritt-stik than strong sinnewy muscle fibres.
