How To Look After Pet Mice. Always wash your hands before and after handling your mouse or its cage contents. One tip I have is to use small squares of cardboard I used old cereal boxes etc to line the bottom of the cage.
A hanging water dispenser is a good choice as water bowls can get messy and are often tipped over. Where should my mouse live. Keeping his cage clean is also vital.
Housing them in the right cage.
The best home for your pet mice is either a wire cage with a plastic tray floor or a tank glass or plastic with a secure wire lid. Mice especially older ones should be kept in a drought free area and should be inspected regularly for lumps. Mice are very susceptible to heat stress which can be fatal. Always wash your hands before and after handling your mouse or its cage contents.
