terry - 2005-11-02 Your site is very helpful and complete. Thanks for the guidance on how to take care of my mice properly. I did not buy these mice. Against my advice, my daughter bought a female white mouse and she just loved it. I thought she was crazy, but by the time she went to college a year later, they became my mice. She had five mice left from a liter of 13, born of her white mouse! Anyway, I am crazy about these little gals. I was home with a back injury and was not very mobile. The mice gave me entertainment, wonder and fun. I told everyone that made fun of me and my mice that they were great pet therapy. I just love them. I find them so much fun. I love finding new things to put in their cage to challenge them. They are very curious so this suits their demeanor very nicely. They seem to enjoy new items which they investigate thoroughly by climbing, nibbling and moving the object around. Yogurt containers with windows cut into the side and top are one of their favortie toys. They like the little compartment to sleep in or just to sit in and watch out the windows. Blocks of wood, a ramp of thin wood, a plastic shelf with legs to go in a small kitchen cabinet makes a great platform for them. I cut off the top of a cranberry juice bottle, removed the cap, cut some holes in the four sides, at different heights and different sizes to make a little gym for them. These are some of their favorite toys. These mice are so easy to care for as long as you find a good litter for the bottom of the tank, and have the patience to handle them and make friends with them. After many tries we have finally found a litter for small animals that looks like a light beige kitty litter, and that has kept the smell down to nothing. I recommend mice for young people and old people. I think they would be a lovely pet for a housebound older person. Having life in the house to watch and enjoy is such a blessing. Thanks again.
S - 2005-10-31 A year ago, we accidentally acquired a white mouse. I decided we could give her a try, and she is a great pet. In fact, we bought two more females to keep Miss Bianca company. They are great pets for small children. Mice are very sweet and friendly and have lots of personality. In the past, I have had hamsters and gerbils, but mice are more fun and much more tame.
Maggie kruger - 2005-10-28 hi i will soon be getting mice a science fair project to see what nutrients are better for them this site is great and ive learned alot thanks!!!!!
Arienette - 2005-10-21 I bought a mouse ten days ago and fell in love with him instantly. His name is dusty. This morning, before school, I found dusty barely able to walk, and abhorrently weak. He's dying. Apparently, he's dying from lonliness. I love this thing to death, so I guess as a warning, its good to buy mice in pairs, so they aren't depressed.
Jenna - 2005-10-19 I got a mouse very suddenly, about last year. I had spent the night with my grandma and we were heading back to my house, so my grandma could come celebrate my mom's birthday. We were talking about how my mom had gotten my grandma a mouse for her birthday when she was a girl. And my grandma didn't really like mice. Well, we turned around, went to petco, got an adorable albino mouse and planned to give it to my mom for HER birthday! We got the mouse out of the "cheap" aquarium, all the one's that are just a buck, because they eventually become snake food. (i saved the poor things life!) lol. But that was last year and Trixy has died since then, but was a much loved little mouse.
Amanda - 2005-10-13 I recently obtained two mice, Peanut and Noodle, and they are both Wonderful pets! Peanut is quite the escape artist. :) if you decide to get mice, make sure that you get more than one, because they get lonely easily.
Mice continue to be one of the most popular "pocket pets", a term used with small pets that will fit into your pocket!

Mice are such nice pets. I definitely recommend getting one as a pet.
