Mice – should they be kept as pets?
December 16th, 2009
When you think of household pets you usually think of dogs or cats, perhaps a goldfish. For the more adventurous of us a snake may even be considered. But would you think about keeping mice as a pet?Many people see mice in the same way they see their rodent cousins – rats. Rats are seen as vermin and mice are often classed in the same way.But for some, mice make the perfect household pets. Their size means they are relatively easy to keep, with just a decent sized cage sufficient. They’re easy too look after and can make for friendly pets.Mice only live for around two years though so make sure you prepare your children for when they go that big running wheel in the sky!
