They can carry diseases, parasites, worms etc... They will most likely bite, being afraid and your home not being their natural habitat they will feel uncomfortable and may not do well. On a better note mice do make good pets, but I reccomend that you go to a pet store and choose one there. Here are pics of my mice... s222.photobucket.com s222.photobucket.com

YES THEY CAN BITE and they, or the parasites they carry, (such as fleas, mites and worms) spread many diseases.

No, most 'field mices' won't carry diseases that would be harmful to humans, although you wouldn't be able to guarantee this, since its a wild animal, but there certainly not associated with the same level of disease as urban rats. There are different types of mice though... Of course it will bite, its a wild animal and you most likely will not be able to handle it at least for a long time. You should probably let it go.

They can....and it depends on what your definition of "field mouse" is, I suppose. There is the hanta virus, which is carried by primarily rodents....among the more common are the deer mouse and the white-footed mouse. I suspect most people don't know there are different varieties of mice or if they do, how to tell one mouse from another.

All wild rodents carry some kind of disease that can be dangerous to humans. However, if bred in captivity, field mice should not be infected with any virus unless they have been around the droppings or urine of a wild field mouse.

Yes.Field mice can carry diseases.They can have fleas,mites,germs etc...on them,which spread diseases very rapidly.They catch these mites,fleas because they are wild.Wild mouse go anywhere they want and hence is dirty and carries more diseases than a pet mice.It's better to buy a mouse from a nearby pet shop and take it for a checkup to see have they got diseases or ill.
