I am often reminded by myself and others that I can be slow on the uptake, but what exactly is a tan egg? Field mice? I'm intrigued, but I would like more information. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cute, positive energy on our site.

Please reply here if you would like to be a moderator. I don't expect it to be too much work, and it should be perfect for someone who hasn't been a moderator before.

Here are my thoughts on what the community might look like. I have it in the sidebar, but I'm open to making changes based on feedback:

As for field mice, I think they would fit nicely (prey, mammal, tan egg)
Is a jerboa too leggy to be eggy? 
Looks pretty eggy to me, I think we can let them into the club!
Reminds me of this
Did hit you up in the DMs, but I'm posting my interest here also. Tan eggs, my muse with an O ;p
