don't forget to that the diet was mouse pellets. not meat, not veggies, not even random leftovers from the garbage. so imagine you're trapped in jail and the only food you eat is dry dog food, an occasional vitamin c pill& water. that's it. your only meal options. now imagine you're mice with no police, no laws, no rules, do what you will is the whole of your existence... like niggers live. you're confined to a concrete tower that's basically indestructible to you. how long before cannibalism hits the menu? that's one vastly overlooked factor in utopia 25.  now imagine something more complicated. robot mouse guards that punish crimes of mice inmates against other mouse inmates directly. a better, more varied diet. musical stimulus that is varied. regular cleaning of the oppressive mouse stink on everything. visual stimulus by a tv. varied color zones and distractions like toys. treats for good behaviors. or in simpler terms... imagine this wasn't a mouse lifer prison, brutalizing the inmates with boredom, dread, and the constant stink of mouse urine... but an actual loving managed environment that provides novelty and joyful stimulus to the captives, like a loving pet owner that dotes on their companions.  mouse "utopia" 25 is not a proof of civilization collapse in highrise life so much as a proof that co-ed prisoner highrise jail is an absolutely cruel concept.
