The bulk update request #2417 is active.

create implication grasshopper_mouse (9) -> cricetid (4098)
create implication white-footed_mouse (1) -> cricetid (4098)

Reason: Both white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus ) and grasshopper mice (Onychomys arenicola, Onychomys leucogaster, and Onychomys torridus ) are all New World mice and thus fall under the Cricetids. Thus, they don't qualify as murids.

Fun facts: After the house mouse, the white-footed mouse is commonly used as a laboratory mouse and is also kept as a pet. As for the grasshopper mice, they are sometimes called "werewolf mice" as they act like miniature wolves and hunt like miniature cats, and even howl to mark their territory.

EDIT: The bulk update request #2417 (forum #333359) has been approved by @slyroon.
