Mice are fun pets and can be trained to do a number of fun tricks. Training your mouse to stand up and beg is a great first trick. Use a food treat to lure your mouse into a begging position. Unsweetened, oat loop cereal makes a fun treat. Ensure your mouse is comfortable with you before training. Talk to your mouse or sing to him softly by his cage. Drape your hand into the cage for your mouse to explore. And try hand feeding your mouse. When you take your mouse out for training, put him on a safe surface. Hold the treat in front of him to get his attention. Say the UP command as you raise the treat over your mouse’s head. Once he is up on his hind legs, give him the treat. Practice this and increase the begging time before giving him the treat. Contact your Conyers, GA vet to learn more.
