If you want a small pet that is fun, loveable and good company then a mouse is a must.
You might call mice the ideal pets. The tiny furries come in 40 different varieties and are very cheap to keep and take little space.
They are slick, smart, sweet, fun loving and friendly and make excellent pets. They are very responsive to humans, are highly intelligent and can do tricks and solve problems.
Mice are also healthy and effected by very few ailments. They are clean and quiet and can live up to three years.
I got my first mice years ago and have never regretted it. They really are loveable. It's best to buy females because they don't fight like males.
Currently I have two sweet little ladies named Silky and Trio
When they are sitting in the hand mice often entwine their tails as if holding on to one another. It's an instinctive thing for them and cute to see.
It's said that mice as pets dates back to the palaces of ancient China and Japan. I think it was in the 1800's that ordinary people started keeping them as pets like we do nowadays.

| Silky (left) and Trio Mice are expert escape artists and can chew their way through things and slide through tiny openings. I keep mine in a metal bird cage with narrow slits. I let them out at least twice a day and often when I go shopping they are tucked inside my shirt. Mice need to be handled very gently and softly and you should never pull their tails or lift them by the tails. Also it's best to talk softly to them, preferably in a whisper. They like that. They do listen to you and sometimes talk back- but we can't hear them, even when they sing. |
