HOW MANY MICE?
Mice are very social creatures and enjoy being in groups or pairs. You can keep both males and females in same-sex groups, but many have had males start fighting and sometimes have to be seperated. If you are getting mice, it is advised to get a same-sex pair of females if you are a first-timer.
HOUSING
The best housing is a tub with a wire mesh top, an aquarium (ten gallons or larger), or a wire cage made especially for mice as they can easily fit through the bars on a hamster cage if they are wide enough.
ACCESSORIES/NESSICITIES
Mice should have a:
• Wheel - must be solid, dwarf sized SuperPet Comfort Wheels work wonders
• Waterbottle - Flat-bac waterbottles from SuperPet work best with a suction cup on the back for aquariums and tubs
• Food-bowl - best to use a food-bowl that is made especially for dwarf hamsters
It is not required, but is nice to have:
• Hiding place - mice enjoy running through them and using them as sleeping places
• Toilet paper rolls - mice LOVE chewing on these and running through them
FEEDING
It is best to feed a rat/mouse mix rather than a hamster/gerbil mix. I also feed Forti-Diet Lab Blocks to my mice.
More information soon!
