Lifespans vs. sexual maturity
A line under the section on reproduction states that the average lifespan of "a mouse" in the wild is considerably shorter than the time required for this species to reach sexual maturity. This statement is uncited, and while it may in fact be true and verifiable, the wording is confusing. Additionally, where it refers to the lifespan of "a mouse," it should really be more specific. Is this simply a figure on mice in general? Grasshopper mice are only distantly related to old-world mice, and if this is the case then this information is being used out of context.
