Mice Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

My husband works in a school and every year at christmas time they do a 'secret santa'. This year my hubby managed to pick our best friends name out of the hat which we thought was pretty cool. We got to thinking what she liked and what would be a good present to get her. We have a great relationship with her and her hubby and we are always ...  Read the complete review

For the mouse is a creature of great personal valour... (Christopher Smart) If you've got as far as reading reviews, then you're probably most of the way there as far as deciding to buy a mouse is concerned, so a few mouse tales (or tails...) from a long term mouse keeper may offer you some helpful, if off the wall hints for ...  Read the complete review

Before I had my Russian Hamsters I had 2 mice. My mum and I went to Pets At Home and decided to have a look at the small animals section. I noticed that they had 2 mice sitting in a cage and I fell in love with them instantly. I decided that I would have one of them. My mum really hates any animals that are small and furry, even birds too. So I ...  Read the complete review

Mice make quite entertaining pets, a lot more fun than hamsters and can be kept together so they do not require as much human company. Mice are easy to tame and very rarely bite. They live for around one and a half to two years which is a shame as they are lovely but they are also nocturnal so if you get one as a pet dont put ...  Read the complete review

About two years ago I bought two young Mice from my local Pet Shop. They were reasonably priced at around £2.00 each (but I got them free because I payed about £30.00 for a cage :S). When you are trying to look for a cage to house your mice/mouse first of all I would recommend that you chose one with not too many tubes and small places ...  Read the complete review

They are gorgous no other word to describe it. I can be lost for hours just watching them make there homes and run around working. Very very cheap aswell cages are about 15 quid and the mice are 1.50 each. For anyone who wants to just begin mice are my top tip to start with. by far the cheapest. i started with 2 lovely mice and they ...  Read the complete review

Right, before you read this I think that I should point out a few things: Well, this op contains absolutely no information about caring for mice or buying them or anything, but I cant post the op that I want to so I've given in and posted this. If you want to just scoll down to the bottom and give me an NU go ahead, I don't mind. ...  Read the complete review

Mice....the word sends shivers down some people spines... personally I cannot see why people hate (and are even petrified of them!). I think they're lovely creatures. I assume it is the tail that puts many people off, then again spiders don't have tails and I HATE them so who knows!! I've not currently got any mice, ...  Read the complete review

I acquired two mice from the RSPCA as no-one else would have them due to their age. My summary of them would be cute, inquisitive and VERY smelly. I have two male mice with very different characteristics. I was expecting white mice (like you see on TV) or grey mice (like the ones my cat brings in – whoops), but my two are ...  Read the complete review

My son is two and about a month ago my husband and I went out and bought him a couple of mice. It was a bit spur of the moment but they seem to be fairly low maintenance. We went into the pet shop on the Saturday and just enquired about them. We asked what sort of cage they needed. Apparently the guideline is if you can get your little ...  Read the complete review

I used to live in a multi storey flat, and had quite a few mice, the problem was they weren't pets. Lets be honest mice are vermin, pests and disgusting, they spread diseases by urinating on surfaces such as worktops and naturally carry several nasty diseases. My advice is if you have mice or think you have look under mattresses etc and ...  Read the complete review

I really like mice as pets and think that they have surpisingly good personalities for such small creatures, one thing that has to be said about them though is they smell- dont belive people when they say that only the males smell, females do as well!, even with regular cleaning out you cant get rid of that charicteristic mousy odour. Also having ...  Read the complete review

I have kept many pets over the years and although mice are charming creatures, I really would not recommend them to people. My experience of them was a few years ago, when I was a teenager. My dad bought me a couple of mice from the pet shop - two males. Unfortunately the pet shop got it wrong, and within the week I had a mousey family, ...  Read the complete review

Ok so all the pet opinions I've put forward so far have been ever so slightly tongue in cheek... not this one! I love mice! The only minor problem I've had with them is they over populate!!! Basically it's that old chestnut - I bought a female mouse and my friend bought another female mouse and gave it to me. Her female mouse really ...  Read the complete review
