Haha...my mind read the subject and I was most curious.

The ideal direction is head first, due to the hair and the way the legs bend...but Sizzle will soon realise (when on larger mice) that it's a bit more awkward backwards, or perhaps he just prefers it that way

If he manages fine, then it doesn't matter

Top or bottom first doesn't make a lot of difference to mine.

Sideways might be a bit of a problem.

Once the mouseys tails are longer they wont really be able to go backwards. Mine used to do it with pinkies but they figured it out eventually!
