Will Field Mice Bite You If Not Tame?

Field mice carry rabies as well as a host of other diseases and parasites. Its NOT safe to catch and keep a wild field mouse for a pet. Do odd jobs for neighbors to get the money to but a mouse from the pet store. They are bred and raised in a controlled environment and are safe to keep as a pet. My son wanted some spending money and put notes in all the neighbor's mail boxes that he was looking for odd jobs... He's had several neighbors call with jobs for him to do. And one has had him back several times for more jobs.

I've had mice too small to really bite and I'm not afraid of rodents so I catch them and let them go in the field.  I raised fancy mice (23!) and they were great pets.  They only cost a few dollars at the pet store. I would suggest, however, that you put GIRLS together, boys fight. Also, try keeping them in a 10 gal aquarium with a good lid, try Walmart, they are cheap. That way they won't climb the cage. One more thing, when they are babies they have a jumping problem, like popcorn, while they get used to their hind legs. Little ones will "bounce" all over the place (out of your hand too!) until they get to be a month or two old.

I'm sure they will, since that is their only means of protection,and defense......good luck
