Mouse

Mice are nervous creatures and harder to handle than some of the larger species such as rats.

They can become tame and will take food from the hand and allow themselves to be handled if started at a young age. Mice are entertaining to watch, easy to care for and make very few demands on their owners.

What to Feed Your Mice

Mice should be fed a complete and balanced mouse food. You can alsofeed bread as a treat, preferably wholemeal, soaked in water andsqueezed out. A good quality, heavy, earthenware bowl keeps food dry and clean andprevents the Mice from tipping the food. Bowls must be cleaned after every use. If you??re changing the diet of your Mice, its vital that youintroduce the new food gradually. Mix about one quarter of the new food with three quarters of the old food on the first day and then graduallyincrease the new food and decrease the old food over a 10-day period. This should make sure that your Mice have no tummy upsets.

In the summer they love treats such as Dandelion heads, and alsoseeding grass, but don??t overdo this. They also like to nibble a little carrot. Mice are omnivorous, but it is a myth that they love cheese. Itdoesn??t do them any good and is only used in mousetraps because itsmells strongly and has a good texture for putting on the little spike.

Housing

Mice can be housed in a wire cage with a solid base, a plastic Mouse home or a large vivarium with a well-ventilated cover. The important thing to remember is that a home for Mice needs to givethem room to enjoy life, as they love to explore and exercise.Multi-level cages are a good idea as they add interest. They love to hide and climb, so sisal rope and a place for them to rest above the ground are ideal.They also need a run where they can play and exercise. Mice are best kept indoors and careful thought should be given towhere the home is situated. The temperature in the room should beconstant, away from direct sunlight and draughts, and out of the reach of any other pets. Mice have very sensitive hearing so they should besituated away from loud noises. Cages should be cleaned out on a regular basis.This is especiallyimportant in warmer weather in order to prevent flies being attracted tothe cage.

Every day: Remove any soiled bedding

Once a week: Remove all bedding. Thoroughly sweep out all the soiledbedding. Rinse with warm water and mild detergent and wait until dry.Spray inside of cage with a safe cleaning product and wait until dry.Replace with clean bedding (check for signs of mould etc. on bedding anddiscard if necessary).
