    My male is so smart and he’s learned a schedule! Every night when I start getting ready for bed, he will climb up to a set corner of his enclosure. I will then get him out and handle him for a few minutes, then he goes back in and gets his food!
    He’s probably one of my favorite pets and he’s so sweet!

    I used to have a male mouse when I was 4-6 years old, and yeah my mum mostly looked after him, but I just remember him being INCREDIBLY cuddly. Like, it was insane! He was more like a rat than a mouse, he would just come out of his cage and curl up in my hand, groom my fingers, boop his little snoot in my ears etc! I know that's an anomaly obviously, but honestly I loved that mouse so much and it was a lovely first (and probably last because I do prefer that personality and rats are overall a better pet for me) experience with mice!! I miss my little Charlie a lot, fly high cuddly boy, hope there are so many warm hands and 'nana chips in heaven

    This is my mice story! :D When I was like 11-12 years old I REALLY wanted mice... like SO BAD that I did more research than anyone should EVER do and I made a notebook (mice wiki) and what do you know... a day before xmas my parents get home....... and they have brought 2 little mice!! ........... it turned out they were ...... A BOY AND A GIRL....... I named them Martha and Minhauzens and I loved them. Even the people working at the pet shop didn’t know their gender so it was a big surprise. Because I wasn’t expecting different gender mice, I didn’t have another ANYTHING at that moment so they HAD to stay in the same glass tank for at least a week. It was a very big mistake because Martha soon after got pregnant (she looked like a pear😂) we soon after seperated the two. One night I heard Martha squealing SOOO loud so I rushed up to the cage and she was giving birth so I just sat next to the cage for like 45 minutes. There were 12 babies born. I helped Martha raise them and it was awesome. My mom OBVIOUSLY was SHOCKED and she didnt let me keep all of them because of space issues so I gave away 8 of the babies and I was left with 6 mice in total (2 adults, 4 babies) when they got a bit older we had to seperate them by gender ofc and when they are young, they have that “popcorn” phase so one of our little boys (remember him) jumped out of my container and ran away through a hole in my wall under the floor. I was worried so I left him food and water on the floor and fortunately every morning I saw that he had eaten some of the food. Like a week after, my dad somehow made a harmless mouse trap and I got my baby back. All of my 6 mice lived a happy life and all 3 of my girls passed away because of a tumour and all the boys died because of age ;( but the little traveler who escaped lived the longest!

    Getting mice is one of the best decisions I've made tbh and it's a lot thanks to you and the fact that I stumbled across your channel. I currently have two but I'm planing on getting at least one more so that no one gets left alone if something were to happen (or at least the risk gets smaller). They live in an Ikea detolf and soon I'm getting some apple tree branches from my mom that I'm going to put in their enclosure (my mom has several apple trees so I know they haven't been sprayed with pesticides or such). I really hope they'll like it and find them fun to climb and explore. I also make tiny hanging hides for them which they also seem to appreciate a lot.
    I also came to think of their different personalities, they're from the same breeder and one of them, named Shade, is really friendly and social. As soon as I come to the cage she comes up to the glass and wants me to pick her up and she loves being with me, climbing around inside my shirts, and she's even hard to convince to go back into the cage. The other one, named Skaði, is a lot more shy and runs and hides when I come. She does come out after a little while and starts walking up on my hand and such, but she's not as fond of being around- and on me for prolonged periods of time. They're both my babies though and I love them.

    I was initially going to buy rats but I currently have two male mice that I unfortunately got out of spite. I do love them and care for them (planning on getting them a bigger cage aswell because their currently is only big enough to provide basics) but my family depises their smell though I'm unbothered by it. I had them in my room till I was told to be them in another room with our family cat and dog and I feel uncomfortable with that so I'll hopefully get another bigger cage as soon as possible so I can put them somewhere else

    Late to the party, but my girlfriend suggested that maybe I should look into owning mice after, without fail, I've been having dreams about owning mice near-weekly for about a year. I've made sure to do extensive research, usually cross referencing multiple videos and articles to make sure the info is 100% correct; and while I don't consider myself financially secure enough for mice YET, I do believe with about another month of saving up I'll be ready to take this first step! Your videos especially have been very helpful and informative, and I would really love to build my own enclosure after viewing some of the enclosures shown on your channel. If anyone is somehow reading this despite how late I am, could you give me advice on homebrew diets? I've heard a lot of store brand rodent food can actually be harmful, so I'm wondering if building my own diet would make my mice happier and healthier. I also live in a colder area and know drafts can possibly be a death sentence for mice, so I want to take extra measures to keep them warm. Could a heating pad be safe for them?

    This is a very nice video :D
    I personally never owned mice and sadly wont be able to in the future but ive had rats, gerbils and other rodents etc. in the past.
    One thing that you could have mentioned are missalligned teeth as a health risk. I dont know how common this actually is but ive seen how fast it can hurt an animal. It can just take maybe 24-48h until the mice might not be able to eat properly anymore and you usually have to cut the teeth and continue monitoring for the rest of their lifes.
    I got a little sad when you said that some people treat them as "just" lab animals etc because i actually am an laboratory animal technician from germany and i work with mice on a daily basis and we treat our animals with respect.
    I have one story that i usually tell peple that are angry at my job choice: When i was in my frist year of training i was working in our breeding facility. I spotted a female that had trouble giving birth. She was a normal black six(inbred strain of lab mice) that was paired to a cd1 male(outbred strain) so the offspring was not something "special" genetically they could have been "reproduced".
    She has had 2 pups already but she was suffering so we had to humanely euthanize her and we also had to take the other babies out right away. Now most people assume that we would euthanize the pups and "move on" with our day.
    But the 2 giant metalheads i was working with that day picked up the tiny lifeless pups and showed me how to stimulate them to breathe and just seeing 2 men with a tiny pink jellybean like baby in their hand begging them to breathe and and almost jumping for joy when the pups finaly did, showed me how important my job actually is. In my training they taught us that we are the animals direct connection to the authorities and its our resposibility to make sure that we protect our animals from all possible harm.
    I believe at least here in germany we treat our lab animals better than most pet stores and private owners even though they have smaller cages.(From what ive seen)

    I have been exploring potential rodents as pets. Mice seem very interesting. But I am glad the maintenance is fairly simple and straightforward. I have an unused 30 gallon long; how many female mice would fit in it?

    Can you help me? I got three rats from my friend last Saturday 1st February. She got them from a pet shop but her mum was allergic so they only had them two weeks. I gave them the week to settle in apart from I cleaned them a bit and gave them food from my hand but they are so skittish all they do is hide they have a hammock to sleep in but they never come out of it. I wanted to take them out in a playpen or something but they don't trust me enough to come. How do I tame them. Any tips?💞

      I don’t know if the situation has changed at all but other youtubers such as shadow the rat and the rat guru have videos that cover that. From what Ive seen, it takes a lot of patience, perseverance, and treats!

    I saved four feeder mice! I gave them a 50 Gallon long tank and although one was really aggressive I tricked her into my hand and force groomed her until she finally quit biting me lol a few dozen bloody bites later, some back massages and cheek rubs later with a blueberry and she's a whole new mouse! Although it's rare, some female mice have a very dominant and aggressive personalities. I reccomend gently letting them in your hand and when it bites again give them a firm but safe grip and let them know in a dominant but not scary voice that it's hurting you. Then proceed to give love and treats. It helps establish a dominance boundary while letting them know you just want to be friends not enemies. As wierd and awkward as it sounds ive found it to be very effective. Again don't squeeze them to death or hurt them just a firm enough grip to let them know you're in control and keep them from escaping your hand followed with a talk and some gentleness. It sounds cruel but nature has a system and if we don't understand it it makes both the pet and the owner struggle. P.S she's grooming my mustache currently. It's a very delicate balance that works as long as you do it in the way another animal would naturally do it. Establish boundaries, don't let them Chace and bite you Also "ears up while biting aggressively is a stong sign of dominance" it's not a natural behavior and will eventually happen to the other mice with her. If they chase and bite hard enough to draw blood it's a territorial act. If they back away and lightly nip it's a warning to respect their boundary wich you should in that case. Understanding your mice/Rats body language and setting boundaries is important to keeping them happy and healthy!

    I have two little mice named pipsqueak and buttercup, both female. They both have different personalities which I love and one of them is really cuddly. ❤❤ I am going to get a bigger cage at some point and adopt another female so when they do die, they won't be on their own.

    I've personally owned 6 mice so far, and every time one dies I need another one, they're so fun to have and their energy levels just cheer me up so much, I've only owned male mice so far, only a few has been tame, only 1 was so tame I could hold him and such. But whether or not they're into being handled I love them all the same and their curious and energetic nature is so special to me, I might end up owning mice my whole life ♥ and their odor is not something that bothers me, when it gets intense it rather motivates me to do some spot cleaning, sure it's powerful but the animal is so worth it every time. I definetly love mice more than hamsters so.. that's something XD

    I used to have a bunch of mice when I was a kid. My mom bred mice and she let me have a few. They were absolutely adorable and a couple of the mice I had really liked to cuddle up on my hand and shoulder and sleep there and give me lots and lot of kisses. I already have a few pets but if I had room to get mice I definitely would own mice again.

    I have a pair of females, and one of them is the alpha. They used to get on very well, but recently, my non-dominant mouse has been picking on the dominant one (pushing off wheels, stealing food, shoving, etc). The alpha mouse is about 9 months older and very gentle and sweet, and does not like fighting. What should I do?
