I have 1 male mouse that was bred as a feeder mouse for reptiles, my cousin was picking up snake food for me and when I saw him I just couldn't do it. He is now my little desk buddy, he does live alone but I interact with him every day. His cage is only 200 square inches right now but I do plan to upgrade him, and he does have 2 hide houses, a 6.5" wheel, chews, and a tube to run in around in. I have had him a month and a half now and he is such a sweetheart. 🤍 I know he may not live long because he was meant to be a feeder mouse but I want to give him a good life while I can 🤍

I made a hole list, every thing I would need to buy were it was from and how much it cost. I then set a budget mine was 300$ for cage stuff, the cage, wheels and a water bottle. Then I put my 300$ in an envelope to prove u could pay for these mice on my own. I put an extra 50 to prove I could pay for bedding and food for a while. I’m not some overly spoiled kid this was my money from like three Christmas and birthdays and I rarely buy things for my self so that’s how I saved up this much. It also really helped because I had my mom on board so we just had to convince my dad. Hope this helps!

VERY useful, thank you! We have wild mice in our house and we had an exterminator come and seal all around the house so they wont come in anymore, but they also wanted an extra 300 to poison the ones inside. I wasn’t too keen on it, and decided this was the perfect opportunity to show our kid what it is to have a pet (I had always refused, by principle) without having to buy one from stores or breeders, and without capturing one from the wild. This way, we keep these alive and will release them in nature when spring comes (Canada is cold in the winter) andin the meantime, our kid can learn and enjoy a rare chance to have a pet, even though it is temporary. I also won’t feel bad releasing them in nature, as this is where they actually come from!! (Unlike pet store or breeder ones). Win-win ! So thanks for your amazing tips and we’ll do our best to follow them. I don’t think we’ll have the chance to handle them though… they are very skittish, being truly wild ones. But that’s ok.

This came at a perfect time! I might take in a senior boy for the last of his time here from a rescue soon and I have been researching again as much as possible! This helps refresh. I don’t believe he is neutered and at this point his age means it could be a risky procedure, so he will probably be kept alone. They also said he doesn’t really like people and prefers to be left some to his own devices, but I would probably try and socialize him enough to make health checks easier and maybe play pen time depending on how he feels about it.

But anyways I was up late last night and heard a mouse squeaking super loud and so I ran out to my kitchen and saw him caught my his tail so I picked him up and put him in a tank I used to have a frog in until he passed and put some food and water in there for him and did a shit ton of research on what I should do for him and went to Walmart and spent my last bit of my paycheck on bedding for him and a little ball he can run around in. But he let's me pet him and even let me pick him up today. After I put in all the bedding and tons of little things he can play on and explore he looks so much happier. Oh and I forgot to mention his name is Pablo and is the dopest mouse I've ever met. Edit: Pablo died 11-25-22 But me and my close friends had a funeral for him and buried him at 4:20. He was truly loved. ❤

So even though I never held a mouse before when I saw him reach for the tail I just scooped her up myself. Fell in love with her immediately.

My 25yr old son bought a mouse to feed to his Dragon. His lizard has only ate the frozen mice so she didn't eat him. I'm thinking she didn't understand or know how to kill and eat. My son said he'd feed it to a stray cat outside I jumped in and told him NO. We are a family that love animals we have 5 hamsters and a hedgehog among others. We have a collection of extra wheels and things, we always keep extra things just to be safe. We also make our own hamster homes. The cages made for hamsters are a joke. They r too small and to be honest can be dangerous on top of being expensive. We make cages from clear totes like u find at Wal-Mart. I like that I can get pvc pipe and connect 2 tots giving them a bigger home and more room to run. So when I decided I was keeping the mouse we got him a tote and fixed him up a nice home. I have noticed that mice are very different than hamsters. Our hamsters aren't scared of us they enjoy being held but they are very active when being held. They are all over the place and after like 10 mins they are ready to go back in their home. The mouse RUNS to my hand when I open his cage. Before I know it he climbs up my hand n to my shoulder. He LOVES just chilling out on me. Last night he sat on my shoulder as I watched TV. He was there over an hr and was so content. They r also extremely smart. I've had hamsters threw put my life I just love them. However I enjoy our mouse more. I truly believe if u want a pet that will want to spend time with u get a mouse. I can't believe the mouse we paid $6 for to be food is an amazing pet. I've been watching video's and reading everything I can find about mice as pets. I'm just so happy with my little guy.

Mice are such funny creatures, but I think the biggest issue for me will be keeping mice while having a snake that eats mice. I feed him frozen thawed stuff, but like it would be weird to consider some mice more valuable because they're pets than the ones I feed my snake. So, like it's kinda weird.

For a different substrate can I use succulent dirt? I’m planning on using kiln dried pine shavings and toilet paper as the main substrate and I want to make a dig box with dirt but I don’t know which dirt is safe for them. An answer from anyone (not just Emiology) would be very helpful ❤️

Sorry I don’t know enough about succulent soil. You can either use coco fibre or topsoil that has no extras added to it like fertilisers etc make sure it’s completely organic.

Please don’t use pine, it can damage their respiratory systems because of all the oil

@@lilyjones4289 Where I live kiln dried pine is my only option. There is not 1 store that sells paper based bedding. I follow this youtube of someone that lives in Brazil (like me) and she uses safe wood shavings and toilet paper as the bedding. I though it was fine if I didn’t have anything else to use.

What is your opinion on using science selective rat food for them? I tried to find the brand you showed in your video but could not find it. My mice are feeder breeders however I am wanting to breed ethically so they are cared for in the same manner as pet mice with lots of space, deep bedding and things to hide inside of chew on and climb on as well as plenty of foraging. I know that people breeding feeders often supplement with cat food for added protein but I still want the healthiest base possible. I considered Mazuri but reading up on it found that multiple places stated it was not fully appropriate for mice.

This probably such a stupid question but would it be possible to house mice in a C&C smaller measurement cage as big as a 50gallon tank ? The walls would be too slippery to climb and I’d add a dig box for them to burrow into.. I haven’t found anyone trying it out or would the amount of room scare it ? And would fleece & corflute if they found it affect their digestive tracts ?

Hi there. I have 4 make African Soft Furred mice and am now looking to upgrade their enclosure. At the moment they have a deep base for burrowing and a tall cage attachment for climbing. My question- for the next enclosure should I look more at burrowing or climbing? I'm also now wondering if i should separate them as they're all intact and add a different breed female fir the social aspect?
