Anyone keep Pet Mice?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think mice are quite social little critters, I'd definately encourage you to do a bit more research and maybe opt for a group. Keeping one by itself will probably be really stressful for it.

I myself really want pet rats :)

Males should be kept by them selves whereas females need to be kept in groups
 
It's sad how rats and mice have such a bad rep. :(

What shocks me is how rats and mice are much smaller than a dog, somehow much smarter too.

Mice are awesome, but they do not have bladders. So expect crap everywhere, I would recommend getting rat's instead. They have bladders and can be easily litter trained.

My rats learned all their tricks in just a week.

Mice can be taught tricks as well.
Rat's are smarter, but mice are not dumb. Mice need a little more training, but if you take the time to do so. You'll have something like this,
