Mice are very busy little creatures. They are very curious and love to explore new areas. They enjoy chewing on things to keep their teeth from growing too long. Mice spend a lot of their time rearranging their habitat and furniture to create fun, cozy burrows and niches. Mice are nocturnal, so they sleep during the day and party all night; however, they do adjust to our schedules with ease. When properly socialized, they enjoy being held gently, with the freedom to move about. Critter companions: Females tend to get along with other females and can live in colonies together. Males typically cannot be housed together. Lifespan: 1 1/2 to 3 years (average) Diet: A well-balanced mouse diet consists of 1-2 tablespoons of rodent food per day.
