Mice are very happy and curious and will soon eat from your hands and climb up your arm! Let them get used to your smell, your face and your voice and they will warm to you quickly. After about four days, it is okay to start handling them each day for a few minutes. They enjoy human company and can be very easy to handle. Mice can tame quite quickly within a couple of weeks and be very friendly pets. Tips on Taming Your MouseĪlways hold them over a soft surface, especially when taming, and keep them close to your body. If one were to bite you, you must not hit it, push it or let go of it as this will frighten the mouse further and make it harder to tame. Mice do not usually bite but may do so if frightened. Do not let go until they are calm and still to prevent them leaping from or slipping through your hands. You can lift them easily by the root (closest part to the body) of the tail, slipping a hand underneath to cup around them. It is easier to handle a mouse than you might think. These cages may look fun but they can be so physically harmful to your pet as well as not being spacious enough, it is important to give your pets the best possible chance to maximise happiness and lifespan. Plastic cages with lots of tubes promote negative bacteria to grow and fumes to build which can poison your pet or cause infections, the fumes can smell bad. Many of these cages are far too small and well below the requirements set about by animal welfare. When choosing a cage, please avoid brands with lots of tubes, tight spaces or a low height. Mice do not require as much space as hamsters, but if you are keeping more than one you should greatly increase the amount of space you have for their comfort and to prevent a severe psychological disorder known as cage rage. They will spend most of their lives in their cage, so be sure to get something that is within the RSPCA guidelines, is comfortable, secure and safe. Having something suitable to keep your mouse in is essential. Some are incorrectly sexed, have behavioural problems, are unwell or severely inbred, which can cause a lot of issues as time goes on. Often many pet shops sell sickly, inbred and overbred mice. Always ask questions, and if something doesn't feel right, don't buy them.
Make sure you select one with a good reputation that has a lot of knowledge and that breeds its mice kindly without inbreeding or keeping them in cruelty. Pet shops are the most obvious place to get mice from. Pet mice are available all over the world. You can also seek out a breeder or an animal shelter. You can get mice from lots of pet shops, especially very large ones or, more typically, from smaller chain stores. Mice are suitable for people who are looking for a pet that is easy to care for, very active and will give them hours of joy. You do not need to have any experience owning pets to have a mouse as they are a great pet for responsibility, don't take up as much space as a hamster and can provide hours of fun company.
