How do you take care of a mouse?

Answer 1

First you will need a cage, they will sell them at pet stores or if u need one right away use a temporary container. Poke holes in it so the mouse can breathe. Use the shavings they have at pet stores or if u need it now tear some kleenex or toilet paper up. Make sure u get the shavings later on. Then you need a rodent water bottle or if u need 1 right away get a tiny tiny bowl or container and put fresh water in it. Make sure the water is not much higher than 1/2 an inch, I've had one of my mice drowned before. :( Give the mouse 1-2 meals a day, u can feed them sunflower seeds, nuts, other seeds, and peanut-butter, but they really need a full diet or they will become unhealthy. Pet stores will sell rat and mouse food, try to buy that as soon as possible. Ironically, mice do not love cheese, they will eat it but don't give them too much dairy because it is not good for them. Also mice need privacy sometimes so they should have their own house, pet stores will sell fancy houses or u could just use toilet paper rolls. Be careful, styrofoam plastic, and other materials will harm your mice if they chew it, don't use these things. Finally, mice need exersise. Get them a running wheel, one of those clear ball exersise things, or take them out for at least 30 mins-1 hr every day. The pet stores will supply these things also. And most importantly- give your mouse a name, and some love!
