How quickly does the spiny mouse regenerate?

Published in Daily Trivia
The spiny mouse, when grabbed by a predator, will lose entire chunks of the its fur, skin, and underlying flesh. It will simply peel right off while the rest of the mouse scurries away, no worse for wear except for some icky holes in its body. It will then begin to heal its wounds almost immediately, taking only three days to begin growing back lost flesh and skin.
