Rock bands in Europe are nothing new, but have you ever seen a band made up of two little mice?

According to British media reports, these two pet mice, Moppy and Witje, must surely be the most adorable stars in the animal kingdom. Under the careful training of their owner Ellen Van Dillen, they have learned to use their paws to play various small musical instruments such as the accordion, trumpet, guitar, pan flute, flute, trombone, and horn, among others.

Ellen, who hails from the Netherlands and works in the photography industry, said that she used food as bait to teach Moppy and Witje how to hold the instruments and pose in different ways.

She explained that the idea came to her suddenly when she saw a small guitar on display in a store window. According to her description, the two "very smart" little pets quickly learned various techniques.

"When I pick up my camera, they automatically strike all kinds of poses that I want. They're so clever; they even recognize their own names."

Ellen pointed out that the two pet mice not only know how to pose, but also have great performance talent. "We have great chemistry, and they often understand what I'm saying."
