I made a jumping mouse from a old T-shirt a found some info. hope you like it.

Where do they live?

Woodland jumping mice are found throughout northeastern North America, from central Manitoba to northern Quebec and south into the lower Appalachian Mountains (northern Georgia). In Michigan, these mice may be found in the Upper Peninsula and in the northern three tiers of counties in the Lower Peninsula.

How long do they live?

Members of the jumping mice family have relatively long lifespans. For example, Brown (1970) estimated that western jumping mice live at least 4 years in the wild. Even though woodland jumping mice have a high turnover rate in the fall, with a maximum life span of 4 years, they live longer in the wild than most other North American small mammals. The average lifespan is 3 years. The long lifespan of these animals is at least partly due to their ability to hibernate. However, because age is estimated the amount of wear on molars, and because N. insignis only uses its teeth for half of the year, determining age can be difficult.

What do they eat?

Woodland jumping mice eat a variety of foods, including fruits, seeds, fungi, and insects. In many areas, these mice depend on the fungus Endogone for food. This fungus was found in 78% of the mice examined, and made up about 40% of what they had eaten. This large percentage of consumed Endogone is not found in any other small mammal. These mice were also found to have eaten raspberries, May apples, blueberries, ferns, leaves, and nuts. Insects are another important part of the diet of these mice, providing about 22% of their food. Woodland jumping mice do not cache food.
