The most dangerous issue with wire mesh wheels is that if more than one mouse is running on them, a mouse can get stuck between the wheel and the frame, causing back injuries. I had a constant stream of partially paralyzed mice for a while until I clued in to what was happening, when I witnessed a mouse get stuck. Now that I use solid wheels, I have not had a single semi paralyzed mouse. Bumble foot and caught feet are less of an issue with wire wheels for mice than for hamsters, so if you have a single mouse who is not obsessive about wheels, they can still be OK just not for multiple mice. Best though to get solid wheels to begin with to avoid any issues. The only danger with solid wheels is if you do not clean them enough, mice can get skin issues when they scratch at themselves with dirty feet. Make sure you keep them clean.

Such underrated and intelligent pets - same with rats! I used to work with a group of 10 mice and they are so fun with totally individual personalities! 🐁🐭

" Do a lot of your own research as well, don't just watch THIS video. " immediate like. the only mouse cages i could ever find were the stupid petsmart ones.. so i bought a bunch and connected them all with dozens of tunnels haha. i really miss having mice but i can't where i'm currently living

I've always wanted mice however our cat would find a way to eat them...

They are amazing little creatures. I've had some myself! Some people really do just care for them based on assumptions rather than research which is sad though!

Today I went to my dads friends house and they have a pet cockatiel and I felt so bad for it. The bottom of the cage was covered in poop and food the bird threw out of her food bowl. She only had one toy and she couldn’t even reach it, I just wanted to take it home, clean her cage and buy her lots of nice and fun toys for her to play with. I also saw she only had sunflower seeds which I’m pretty sure is fatty for birds and it was the only food in her cage :( she is such a pretty bird and I want to give her a better home and cage so badly

Your hair looks great, even better than cornflake’s!. If anyone is thinking of getting mice 🐭 please be prepared for them to pass away in a few years, as they can be very vulnerable to mammary gland tumours, which, if they occur in old age, can’t really be treated. In terms of vegetables, kale is often a favourite among mice, and pretty good for them as well, as long as it is not fed in massive quantities.

My old best friend use to have 2 female mice they were adorable, they died 2 years ago :( her dog had died almost right before her mice so she took it HARD Now she has 2 kittens I feel so bad for her but I’ve also had my fair share of pets dying... There are many dead animals buried in my garden... 😅 😔😣

This was quite a comprehensive video! I have 4 females and 1 intact male (living separately) and my male mouse is definitely much stinkier! The girls tend to pee in just one spot but my male pees everywhere so I have to spot clean much more! Also, if you’re considering getting mice, make sure you a vet who can see them as many vets won’t! They can also be much more expensive to see as they’re considered an exotic pet :)

I love mice. It is a shame that more seniors don't realize the joys of mouse companionship. Seniors often have problems sleeping at night and mice can really help make that a less-stressful situation. My mice come alive around 7pm so I have them to watch and interact with for a few hours before bedtime. Then, when I wake up in the middle of the night, which is all too often, I relax and watch my mice running around their cages. I try to change things up regularly, in their cages, so that they always have new things to explore. Virtually any box or tube, that is normally discarded, can become an object of interest and enjoyment for mice. Before I throw things in the trash, or recycle bin, I think about whether it can be used in the mice cages for enrichment. When it gets dirty I simply discard it and replace it with a new object. That saves a lot of money on toys. I also crochet toys, nets, foraging toys, ladders, etc., for my mice out of sisal twine when I find myself awake at night. It is a really inexpensive way to make toys for them.

Cornflake is adorable I’m so glad you decided to keep him:) But it is really scary to get your mice neutered but in the end it’s worth it for them to live out a comfortable life:)

I 100% recommend getting a mouse from a rescue or animal shelter. At shelters and rescues they tend to know a lot about mouse care so they take good care of them and work with them to be calm. My last mouse, Buttons was from the SPCA and he was the sweetest little guy. When I first got him he was super skittish. over the next couple months, he came out of his shell so much. Unfortunately he died suddenly at only 10 months old (I think it was a heart attack). But he was absolutely delightful to be around. He would sit on my shoulder and we would go for walks, and he would run around my bed. I taught him tricks, too. It was cool because he actually loved me and craved my attention. he would climb up my arm every time I was reaching in his cage. Male mice are great pets. I prefer them over females companion wise. It varies mouse to mouse but I think female mice are more fun to watch and observe, but males and more fun to play with and spend time with. my room smelled bad when I first got him, but after about a month he stopped scent marking as much and the scent was mild.

0:06 i thought that was a mouse getting thrown (including the squawk

I got a notification ages ago and then couldn't find it 😅 love mice. And birds 🐦😍 it's so sad people still use those cages as well because it's really unfair on the mouse 😢

I was thinking of getting mice and this video helped, thank you

love this video! you should totally make this a series, like bite-size videos about the reality of owning certain pets - I find this stuff super interesting even though I don't have mice myself!

We got two pet store male mice about a year ago. They were around 4 months old and I had them for a few months then it turned out one of them was female and now I have 11 mice :/

I had a rat! His name was Mike but sadly he died of old age. He live 5 and a half years with us! Although I do have a dog that's a Malamute and she would always bark at him but he wasn't scared. He'd stand at the front of the cage an just look at her like "Tf you tryna do?" Yeah he was amazing 😂

Can we all talk about how beautiful soda's hair is🥰🥺

So glad I found an NZ pet tuber. And youre also in Chch. Great channel, def subbed. Thanks for making your froggo vids because as someone who is looking to get into frog keeping it’s SUPER helpful to have someone here posting advice.

I used to watch ur mlp videos like years ago. I kinda forgot about u and then I say this video on my recommended. I love ur new videos and I'm so glad I found ur channel again

I haven’t watched you videos since around 2017 and it’s good to know your still posting, and your content is still amazing

omg ive been searching for you for years, i was a huge fan when i was younger ( elementary ) im in high school now and im so glad ive found you again and to know youre still posting. i remember watching ur too young and two souls series with my younger sister. i hope ur doing well and keep ill be looking forward to seeing what kind of content youll be making in the future! thank you for being such a big part of my childhood and always making my day

I'm so excited to have found your channel. One of my closest friends lives in Auckland and I love finding other Kiwis around doing rad stuff.

I have a mouse too ! He’s very orange😂🥰

I don't know why but I love mouse smell, it may be because I had mice when I was younger and it brings back good memories :)

Aaaaahhhh your hair, I love it!!!!! Also, mice are such underrated animals. It's so fascinating to see how they all have different personalities. I've had mice as pets (but they passed away a year ago) and I also work with mice at university. Unfortunately, this also means I'm not allowed to hold them as pets anymore bc the risk of introducing germs n stuff is too high :(

This is very educational and helped me very much!

I love your new hair! Also I hope you had a good holiday.

That's why I'm glad we dont sell mice anymore . Theres only 1 pet store in chch that still does mice now I think

Love your educational vids they 're very interesting :) keep it up

My mice give me so much joy, they have the most personality of any pet I've had. They are adorable and really like children. They enjoy playing in thier pen, and they get so excited when it's baby rice day.

I have three gorgeous girls my sister got as a surprise Christmas present for me, i was pretty unprepared but have made them a solid square cage a bit bigger than I milk crate that I have filled with toys and ladders. It is definitely temporary and I take them out to handle and let them run around daily, but that’s great to know about tank sizing recommendations! They’re my gorgeous bbys and I love them with all my heart

Also fun fact mice are actually lactose intolerant so please if your gonna give them cheese as a treat dont over do it:)

I like how you fed the two mice the squeeze fruit from a pouch.

Oh hey look, a video about mice. *_oh I'm early_*

soda uploaded on my birthday epic

Your hair looks so cool 🥺🥺🥺

Hey Soda pets, love ur vids!!

Hey! Im from Brazil, the coldest part of the country, but literally every pet rat, mice, hamsters, they Always die of heat, they end up breathing hard and die, what could i do? I cant afford fans or ac for them

Remember adopt don’t shop!!

Abotu the wheels definitly agree, I onyl had mice onec when I was small and we already have 2 cats and a dog but since mice were forbidden I boughtone on secret :D we bought another one not so late after and we actually bought a wheel that had holes in it it was like ladder but in a wheel. About 4 months later we found one of the mice had actually killed herself on that wheel and no so long after the other mice died of broken heart basically, so ironically the cats wernt that much foa thread as the fact that I didnt have the rigth eqipment

I have three pet mice. ( I uploaded a video yesterday, showing two of my mice if you want to see them.) I love mice!!! My mice have a huge tank (I say tank but it isn't glass) that is bigger than most guinea pig pens. they make a lot of mess and love carboard boxes and newspaper. I had to buy a rat wheel because the mice wheels are just shockingly small. I'm going to be changing my channel a bit so I can start uploading videos about mice and caring for mice (and maybe guinea pigs) because I am really passionate about mice!! I had a mouse so sweet, she convinced some of my friends -who were scared of mice- to love mice, just by holding her.

I love your purple hair 💞

Your hair looks so cute!! reminds me of sagiri.

My stepsister once got mouse- kinda like an impulse buy) And we have 6 cats and she didn't do much research either so they all died cause our cats got to them and some just died- they also bred

ok so yes mice love to have things to do and climb on..... but like tbh who wouldnt?

When I was in kindergarten our teacher had gerbils and one got its tail stuck in the wheel

Can you make a video explaining why you should get a mouse

YAY new vid

I've just got 2 female mice could u do a video on how to set up a cage for them and many some good accessories I could buy for them your the best I've been watching u for a year now thank u so much

The same thing happened to me with being told a mouse was a girl at the store and then finding out he was a boy once I got home, I was even planning on re-homing him but then fell in love with him too! I considered getting him neutered so he could live with my 2 girls but the vet said she doesn't really like neutering mice because its so risky, unfortunately he died the following week of a uri so I never had to make the decision of whether to go through with the neuter or not :( rip Felix

lov u soda

*me who has 5 mice, has had mice for a year and researched for two years before getting them*: why I am I here?! On a serious note this was very well put together and I 100% agree with what you've said here!

I don’t mind the Cockatiels in the background i even Enjoy it but... my Cockatiel is going CRAZY chirping🤣 and my budgies are reacting to my Cockatiel so all my birds are chirping.. loud 😅

I have ferrets and their as cute and like mice

i love mouse smell its so good

I am currently introducing a rescue girl to my group of 5, Im so commited that they’re spending the night beside my bed in their intro cage just in case.

About the smell part: I think Cornflake isn't smelly because he's neutered. Like how unneutered adult male cats' litter boxes smell a lot worse than neutered male cats' litter box.

Mice are so adorable, I could watch them for hours. It is a dream of mine to own mice, but right now, my 7 rat grandpas keep me very busy. But someday I will surely adopt my own little pack.

I got two males first (Kylo and Atlas) and I bought Atlas with 2 broken legs, he is currently healing. they are separate. I recently got 2 females (Milk and Elaina) and they are very cute but very timid right now. Mice are amazing pets, do your research and save mice

love u!

I have 4 male rats and I would love mice however my boys do smell a day or two after they’ve been cleaned out so I often empty their litter tray between clean outs

Hey you gotta be careful about with the plastic Is because it Can brake And they can get stuck in there So I recommend using the wooden It's totally okay If you still Use the plastic ones it's just my opinion

The down side of nice is their really have an unpleasant strong odor. Even if you clean the cage just an hour later it will stink again. It's a Shane as they are wonderful and cute and gently pets. I would recommend gerbils or rats rather than mice as they dont have the strong smell.

I have two female mice (the third sadly died of old age). We had them in a fish tank but we upgraded it to a big cage with two levels. I think they have a happy life! ( it’s not one of these horrible tall cages though)

I watch this with my badgi

so in the past when i was like 10 on my birthday i got 3 mice i only did a couple research but they lived in a 60 gallon tank with bedding and toys and stuff like that but sadly they all passed away after 2 years

Yes

Thank you so much this really did help i wanted a mouse

i freaking love the animal crossing music in the background

I got my mouse as food for my snake, who is lost, but the store takes amazing care of all their animals, even the rats! The rat is alive, I set up a pretty nice bin cage for it, and it lets me pet and hold it!

Please give a tour of your Miku figures! They’re so cute!

Thanks for this! I’m looking to mice a little bit and I have a few questions. Where do you get a mouse other then a pet store? How often do you get them out? How often do you need to clean their cage? Can you keep one mouse in a cage alone? By the way I love your videos, you are such an awesome person and I really appreciate your videos because they make my day :)

can i use breeders choice cat litter for my mice?

My old mice lived to three years :)

i love your hair its so prettyyyyryryryhfjrosorkf

I am getting mine tomorrow we are going looking for the mose we want

Hey soda pet ! My mom and I have a cockatiel and I feel like she is not happy at all :\ She live in a kinda big cage and she go out and fly around the house, she is really friendly but she don't like when we touch her back or just when we try to pet her somewhere else than her head. She do not "sing" like other bird do (I think only male sing but idk). Since she live alone with us and sometimes stay alone (1~3 days) I don't know if she is really happy or if we're doing something wrong...

Me Changing the title to:Should You Get A Pet Mouse*not:Should you get a pet mice?

This video was helpful I was really lucky that you mensioned how much mice breed because I actually did not know that. I think Ima just get 3 females becayse they are adorable and so inteligent!!!

I've heard about popcorning before from chinchillas, but I didn't know mice did it too

You inspired me to get mice! I’m picking up my baby’s in two weeks 💕

Her: birds screaming Me: oh! I'm used to that....... Wait OH NO BIRDS CHIRPING=MY BIRDS CHIRPING AND IT'S late at night ⋛⋋(◐⊝◑)⋌⋚

Me watching this video knowing full well I never want mice. I’ve already got three parrots and a dog. My birdies are probably going to live like 25-40 years. I’m good😂

I really want a mice but my brother thinks their tales are wierd 😅

I am a rat man, my first pet rat was Sly, he ended up with a legend he was in the Prodigy Breathe video, he ran from a tube towards the camera, his memory is still alive.

I know that male mouses dont get well together but i have heard that neutred ones get well together easily, is it true?

hey i need some help, i want to get mice in the future because i have a frog currently and my parents won’t allow more than 1 pet in the house etc. but i have 2 for sure chain pet stores and one that may be local but is definitely all across my state like at least 3 locations and i have no mouse breeders near me so i obviously don’t want to support breeding mills but i don’t have an option so if i could please get some help that would be great thank you in advance!

My mom had mice when she was a child but then they got crushed by a rocking chair

This is really informative! I do have a question. Do they need to be let out of their cages like rats and guinea pigs?

Yay we have fish tanks. Big ones. I thought I was going to have to buy a cage. Wow I always thought they were going to be useless! I should do more research before getting overly excited about this.....

How old should a mouse be before adopting it?

Is there a lid on your tank

your mice probably dont smell because you keep em clean my rats start to smell if i dont clean their cage for a few days, but overall, rats(which are known to smell) dont smell, either. keep your rodents homes clean, friends.

How do I find the nearest breeder?

Im a child and might be getting mice but have been doing a-lot of research

tbh i want a pet rat but im scared to get one because my cat is just a major hunter who will kill any small animal so- might wait a few years lol

Hi, I'm gomna be moving soon and I might get a guinea-pig and I was wondering what type of cage I should get and what food and stuff like that, you may not see this though so idk why I'm still writing this lol
