The Mice Have arrived! - webzdebs - 02-06-2010

They are so little and cute! It's my first time with mice so any tips will be greatly appreciated.

So i thought you all might want to see some pictures of them, some of them aren't too good, they are a bit scared so I didn't want to bother them too much for photo time.

First here's the Boys;

Mice are pretty easy keepers from my time keeping them.

Give them lots to play with. If there are several in a bin, just put a nice wire wheel in there, they do more climbing on top than running on it! or just make something for them to climb if you're leery about wire wheels with mice. They don't seem to have the same propensity to break their legs like hamsters do.

Bed them down very deep - they love tunneling in the litter!

They also love human interaction. I used to take my brothers building blocks and make mazes, play houses and what not for them and watch them go nuts playing with me on their 'out time'.

They're so damn cute! I had a friend in jr high that brought her mouse to school and we'd take turns letting it crawl on us... I nearly peed myself when the little guy got inside my shirt and the teacher glared at me for laughing in class for no reason... she had no idea we had a mouse with us, she just thought we were acting crazy.

I used to bring mine to school all the time too. Kept him in a shirt pocket. He came in very handy one day while we were cutting class and keeping warm inside a stairwell when a teacher caught us during class. I pulled Aladdin out and showed it to her. She ran out screaming bloody murder. Just long enough for us to get out and away!
