Mice

Mice are deemed as a public health nusiance. I work for a pest control firm in Belfast. So I can tell you a bit about are common mouse. Mice as pets are quite a clean animal but the wild mouse that comes from outdoors carry germs as they explore and live in dirty environments. Mice have about five to six litters a year and their life span is around a year too. They can start to have a litter from eight weeks and that is the maturity in around that area. Mice are very clever wee beings the take nibbles of food from all different places they do not eat from one source they are not as destructive as rats and they are very small too. They are great climbers and ...  Read the complete review

This time last year, me and my husband were walking around Warrington Market when I was swung into the Pet Shop (as usual!), there looking at us were Micky and Minnie the mice, they were Fancy Mice, whice are the variety of mice which are used for showing. They were extremelly cute and so at £5 each they came home with us. We bought them a mouse cage as we were told they could sqeeze through the gaps on a bigger cage, and a little wheel along with some mouse food. Micky and Minnie fitted in very well in our home, and were loved by me and my husband. Mice are very very easy to look after, one thing you must remember though is never mix ...  Read the complete review

Mice are so sweet so i had to have some as a pet. I decided to get two so they would keep each other company as i heard that they should be kept in pairs, but it is a bad idea to keep a male and female together unless you are planning on breeding them, so i got two male mice which i had no problem with (apart from they smell slightly more than females). They are a noctural animal which is ashame as we are not, so it is pretty normal not to actually see your mouse for a couple of days, and isn't a great idea to keep them in your bedroom as they will run around their wheel at night. Even still. they are an excellent choice for a pet, especially for a child, as ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago, we did Secret Santa at work; for a budget of £5, we had to buy anonymous gifts, I happened to pick a good friend of mine (not an animal lover) and had an evil thought. Low and behold, on the day itself, she opened a box that contained...a mouse! The mouse is a small rodent that look like a shrunken, cute rat. They live a year or two, and can be purchased from pet stores for around £5. They come in a range of colours too! I write this review now, because the mouse we gave my friend is at our house, whilst the owners are on honeymoon. Having owned mice before, I have a few opinions of them as pets: 1) They aren't very ...  Read the complete review

The mouse (Murinae Mus) was originally domesticated in the early Chinese empire, the earliest record being from around 1100BC, however their breeding achieved. In order to distinguish them from wild mice they have been given the name "Fancy Mice", although technically speaking they are the same species as their wild brethren. The general life expectancy is around 2-3 years in the average mouse. The average pet mouse is on average 20cm long from head to tip of the tail, although the tail is usually the same length as the body, so it does skew the measurements somewhat. Perhaps a more accurate portrayal of size is by weight; an average mouse will weigh ...  Read the complete review
