Although mice are often overlooked, they make great pets. They are very low maintenance, and they enjoy human company, as long as they’re properly socialized. Is it a good idea to pick up your new mouse from the pet store?

There are usually two kinds of mice that you can get from the pet store. The first group is kept for feeding other animals, like snakes. These mice can be tamed, but you’ll likely get bitten in the process. In addition, these mice aren’t likely to be very healthy.

Some mice are kept in the pet store for the sole purpose of being adopted. These mice are specially bred to be companion animals. They are also likely to be much healthier than the other mice. However, they aren’t always well socialized.
