Ok today I am going to talk about taking care of a mouse...
Mice need a lot of attention. You should hold them for atleast 5 minutes every day. If you are scared that they will bite you, the best thing for you to do is hold them with gloves until the mice are used to human contact. Then once you feel comfortable, you can start holding them without the gloves on. When they bite you it doesnt even hurt, it might be a little alarming though. You also have to keep and eye on how much food they have left in their bowl. If they have enough for one day, you dont have to worry about it,but make sure you feed them the next day. (For imformation on what mice eat, look at my other blog, it goes into detail about eating habbits of a mouse)
Make sure that the cage that they are livng in is big enough for them and has air holes or wires for the mice to get air. But the wires on the cage have to be close together, or else the mice will squeeze through them. (Thats what happened to my mice)
You have to clean their cage atleast once a week, or else it will start smelling really bad. When you clean the cage, make sure you dump out all of the bedding and wash the cage so the smell goes away. It only takes about 15 minutes.Taking care of a mouse is so fun! I love it!
