-Day 10- Mass Destruction  and Reconstruction

Today we came to find our ecosystem in ruins. Turns out Nani (our mouse) destroyed everything! He dug up all of our plants and dumped them into our pond. We know it was the mouse because we watched him do these things ourselves. Finally we decided that maybe a mouse really wasn't a good thing to have in there. So we took the mouse out. We dug under the dirt regaining all of our seeds back that the mouse had placed in his tunnels. We also found the Salamander by digging up our dirt. We replaced all of our seeds and began reconstruction. We are going to seal the Bio-bubble off on Wednesday. Our temperature today was around 70 degrees.

Oh no! It sounds like you learned your lesson the hard way. Why is a mouse ill-suited for life inside a controlled biome, yet in the real world they are thriving and prolific?
Now that you have reconstructed but are sealing off your ecosystems, what concerns do you have? What causes these concerns? How is your ecosystem's chances of survival with all the reconstruction so close to the sealing date?

I think that a mouse may need more room if it were to survive in a controlled ecosystem. I also thought that maybe the mouse felt threatened by the other organisms and he was acting this way to show dominance. A concern that I have about reconstructing this close to the seal date is that maybe not all of the seeds will sprout and there won't be enough producers inside of our ecosystem. Chances of our ecosystems survival are definitely not as high as the other ecosystems. I really hope that it will survive.
