For many centuries, mice have lived next to humans. The attitude towards the small thieving animal has always been ambivalent. On the one hand - sabotage and spoilage of products, on the other - helping people in laboratory experiments. Today, relatives of the common house mouse are becoming very popular pets. It’s not surprising that mice have taken root here too, just remember the Russians folk tales or domestic cartoons, in which the “little mouse” is a constant participant in the events.
Decorative mice (as well as the rats that our material “Domestic Decorative Rats” tells about) quickly adapt, are unpretentious in their maintenance, have a variety of colors and are very funny. These small animals from the order of rodents are awake mainly at night, do not live long (on average 1.5 years and rarely live up to 2 years), are very fertile and reach sexual maturity early. Decorative varieties easily get used to humans and become tame.
It is better to choose a mouse in a nursery or at an exhibition, where they are guaranteed to be examined by a veterinarian. If you decide to take an animal from someone else’s hands or in a pet store, then there is always the possibility of infection from them with worms or other diseases. By the way, it is better to buy several females at once, because... they prefer to be in company, but it is better to keep males alone to avoid fights, sometimes with fatal. After purchase, we recommend transporting the mice home in a ventilated box or box with holes.

White house (laboratory) mouse
These rodents have long lost wildlife. IN Lately They are very often found among people as pets. Their mass maintenance began about 125 years ago. These rodents are sociable and unpretentious in care.

For growing incisors, you need to add twigs of shrubs or stone fruit trees and crackers to the diet of young animals.
The duration of pregnancy in a rodent of this species is approximately twenty days. The female brings about seven babies, although there are more. B can give birth to approximately ten litters.
Rodents must live in a cage. There must be a house in it. It is also advisable to install a wheel or additional accessories for games. The optimal temperature for keeping is twenty degrees.
House gray mouse
In addition to white mice, there are also gray mice. They are also a subspecies of domestic ones. Gray mouse on average weighs thirty grams, body length is about ten centimeters. The length of the tail of this mouse is 10 cm. The rodent's fur is hard. The coloring is monochromatic.
Lifespan
How long do decorative mice live? It is impossible to answer this question precisely. Because it depends on many factors. On average, it is two to three years.
Conclusion
Now you know what types of decorative mice there are. We looked at different breeds. We also touched upon the topic of keeping and feeding these small rodents. We hope that our article was useful to you.
Which spread throughout the planet, becoming one of the most common mammals. This happened due to their ability to coexist next to humans.
Habitat
The house mouse, the photo of which is presented in this article, is actually a wild animal. It got its name for living near humans. House mice live everywhere in the world, with the exception of permafrost areas, Antarctica and high mountains. Latin name animal - Mus musculus, while a 3rd word is added to it, demonstrating the habitat area, for example, house mice that live in southeast Asia are Mus musculus castaneus. House mice also live almost everywhere in our country: Krasnodar region, Rostov region, Krasnoyarsk region, Astrakhan, etc. The only exceptions are the regions of the far north.
Lifestyle
The house mouse lives in various biotopes and landscapes, including anthropogenic landscapes. It is very closely associated with people and often inhabits outbuildings and residential buildings. In the north they carry out seasonal migrations. For example, at the end of summer, animals begin to move en masse to warm places: grain and vegetable storage facilities, residential buildings, and warehouses. The range of such migrations can reach 5 km. They often overwinter in stacks, stacks and forest belts. In the spring they leave their “winter apartments”, returning to gardens, orchards, and fields. In the south of the range they often live all year round without human habitation. In this place, house mice are attached to various reservoirs and oases.
In nature, they are nocturnal and twilight animals, but in human habitation they adapt their daily routine to the life of people. Sometimes, under artificial lighting, they remain active around the clock, reducing it only during periods of active human activity. At the same time, the activity of animals is polyphasic; there are up to 20 periods of wakefulness per day, which last up to 90 minutes. Like many other mice, they adhere to constant specific routes when moving, creating noticeable paths with small piles of dust and droppings, held together by urine.
House mice are very nimble, active animals; They run, jump, climb, and even swim well. But they do not often move far from their nest. Each mouse in nature has an individual area: for males up to 1200 m2 and for females up to 900 m2. But when large, animals settle in small family groups or colonies, consisting of a main male, several females with their children. Hierarchical relationships are always established among the members of this colony. Males are quite aggressive relative to each other, females show aggression much less often. Clashes within family groups are very rare; they mainly involve the expulsion of offspring who have already grown up.
Description
House mice are long-tailed, small rodents with an oval-shaped body, small head, beady eyes and round ears. The tail is covered with sparse hairs and ring-shaped scales. Animals that live in nature have a zonal type of color, in this case the hair at the base of their tail is brownish-brown, the middle is fawn, and the tip is painted a pale gray shade. The abdomen is colored much lighter - to white. At the same time, which were bred by selective breeding, have a huge range of colors: black, white, gray-blue, yellow, as well as colors that combine several shades. White mice are albinos, since they practically do not synthesize melanin, which is responsible for the color of tissues. Breeders also bred tailless, long-haired, short-tailed, hairless, satin and curly mice.
Character
House mice are curious, lively, cunning, intelligent, but very timid animals. Unexpected noise or sharp sounds scare them. They don't like loneliness either. Without communication and attention, house mice become sad and begin to run wild. Females are excellent mothers, and males show paternal feelings towards their offspring only if there are no other males in the cage.
Relationships with other pets
House mice are pets that can be dangerous to dogs, cats, rats and birds.
Attitude towards children
They can be started in those families in which the children are 10 years old. They want to have their “own” animal, although they have no experience in caring for one. Many people are interested in the question: “Do house mice bite or not?” It is worth noting that they are not aggressive, although they can bite until they have had time to adapt to the owners and the environment, therefore, first it is necessary to help children get acquainted with the animal, as well as tame it. Very young children should not be left alone with these miniature, yet nimble and dexterous creatures.
Education
House mice are pets that are among the smartest animals among rodents, while decorative varieties quickly get used to their owners and are perfectly tamed if they are given enough attention, while speaking affectionately and softly. They are able to remember their nickname. Mice quickly begin to recognize the scent of the person who brings food, and will greet him with a cheerful squeak. Animals can be trained to respond to various whistles and various commands, for example, “Come to me!”, “Serve!”, “Home!”
It is worth noting that scientists have been studying house mice for a long time. Kotenkova E.V. (Doctor of Biological Sciences), for example, devoted a lot of time to this issue, writing several scientific works about their behavior, as well as their role in ancient mythology.
Nutrition
House mice have a main diet of grains and seeds. They happily eat wheat, oats and millet, as well as unroasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds. They can also be given dairy products, white bread, pieces of egg white and cooked meat. The green parts of various plants can make up a third of the animal’s diet with a normal amount of water. At the same time, among succulent foods, mice prefer cabbage and dandelion leaves, slices of cucumber, beets and carrots, green grass. Mice need up to three milliliters of water during the day. In summer they can feed on insects and their larvae. Mice have a very high metabolism, therefore, they should always have food in their feeder.
You can keep a mouse at home in a fine-mesh metal cage, as well as in a special organic glass container with a lid. It is necessary because mice are excellent jumpers. The terrarium or cage must be spacious enough, since animals are very active and need movement. Strips of unpainted paper or shavings are used as bedding. A house (a jar, a box, a pot, etc.) is installed in the cage, in which the mice will arrange a nest, a drinking bowl, a feeder, a piece of chalk, as well as other devices for games. Stairs, levels, shelters, branches are suitable for this; it is also advisable to install a running wheel.
The terrarium or cage is placed as far as possible from windows, radiators, air conditioners and doors, since animals do not like temperature fluctuations, direct sun rays and drafts. Best temperature air 20°C with air humidity of 55%. Every day, garbage and leftover food are removed from the cage, and the feeders and drinking bowl are washed. The bedding is changed three times a week, at least once a month it is necessary to disinfect and completely clean the terrarium or cage. Mice feces have an unpleasant, pungent odor. At the same time, females smell much weaker than males.
In the terrarium, it is advisable to install pieces of large tree branches directly with the bark (birch, willow, rowan) so that the animals can grind their incisors on them. It must be taken into account that lilac is poisonous to these animals. You can also put wooden toys in the cage, with which the animal will play, grinding down its incisors. With well-organized housing, house mice do not need walks. If the animal does go out for a walk, then the place for its walks must be limited to the owner’s hands or a table. It must be remembered that various house plants are poisonous to mice, including aralia, yucca, kala, etc.
Such mice are evening and nocturnal animals; they can disturb sleep with the noise and various sounds they create, although they generally adapt to the human regime.
The destruction of such mice is caused by the damage they cause to human supplies, as well as equipment and household appliances.
Wild house mice, which have been fought by humans for centuries, are capable of eating almost anything. As a result, food, candles and soap, wiring, etc. become eaten away in the house.
Animals in warehouses gnaw grain, destroy crops of various root crops, eat cereal reserves, and, in addition, significantly pollute the house with the products of their vital activity. They actively excrete their waste, so even a small population can cause enormous harm. Thus, the animals do not eat the bulk of the grain, but rather pollute it.
In addition, brownies (we will learn below) are carriers huge amount pathogens various diseases. They can convey to a person coli, helminth eggs, cause plague and blood-sucking insects very often live on them, including fleas and ticks, which happily spread to humans.
Consequently, house mice can cause significant harm. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to get rid of them. Professional extermination of animals is becoming the main activity for suburban areas, private homes, catering organizations, as well as different types institutions. This service can be ordered from specialized companies, or you can use a mousetrap the old fashioned way.
A little history
Mice are born periodically in nature. white- albinos, for whom it is almost impossible to survive, since they are very noticeable and also instantly become prey. But in ancient times in Crete they were kept in the form of living amulets that bring good luck. They were also kept in temples, where they were specially looked after by ministers. 4000 years ago in Ancient Egypt bred and kept mice, paying close attention to colored species. The Egyptians attributed supernatural abilities to them, and also depicted them on their clay vessels.
During the period of Ancient Rome and in the Middle Ages, healers used mice and rats for medicinal potions, while in Asia they are still specially bred for such purposes. With the development of veterinary medicine and experimental medicine, mice and rats began to be used for various studies like laboratory animals. It is believed that decorative and laboratory mice originate from white, spotted and black fighting mice, described in a book published in 1787. It talks about the animals that were used for fighting at that time. English merchants brought them from Japan. Subsequently, the mice formed a special line of house mice, and decorative breeds began to be bred as pets.
Currently in various countries Western Europe and America, there are Clubs for mouse lovers, the main goal of which is to breed new varieties of these animals. Most often, individuals of different colors are obtained: gray, white, red, brown, lilac or pinkish, with spots. Special exhibitions with expert assessments are held there.
But in our country, decorative mice are less known than in America and Europe, but among animal fans they are becoming more and more popular every year. Special sections have been created in clubs for lovers of various rodents decorative mice, nurseries are opened that engage in selection and breeding work, and exhibitions are also held where house decorative mice are exhibited along with other small animals.
For a long time, mice and humans have lived side by side. Therefore, it is not surprising that one day the owner of the house had the idea to tame this tiny creature in order to turn it from a pest into an object of care and a source of joy. This is how the domestic mouse appeared - an extremely funny and cute animal that does not bring much trouble, gets along well with humans, and is quite easy to care for.
Reason for choosing a mouse
Decorative pet mice are an ideal option for those who have decided to have their own animal or teach a child to take care of the weak, but are limited by time, funds and square meters.
You can squeeze the mouse Unlike phlegmatic fish - other inhabitants that do not take up much space - they are able to respond to affection: you can stroke them, feel the warmth of a small body in a fur coat, they are quite affectionate and enjoy sitting in your arms.
Varieties: mouse and mouse are different
Oddly enough, tamed and domesticated mice are divided into only two types. The first species is the albino mouse, also known as the white laboratory mouse. The decorative house mouse is an animal weighing on average 30 grams. with a body 7-12 cm, a tail of the same length, hard, medium-length fur, often one-color: black, brown, gray, sandy color. The lifespan of this miniature animal is on average 2-3 years.
White mouse Stands apart white mouse- the ancestor of the entire mouse movement. Bred before our era, this creature was a frequent guest in the homes of Chinese emperors, and later, brought to England, quickly won the sympathy of all pet lovers.
In the 19th century they were recruited to participate in laboratory experiments, which resulted in the appearance individual view- laboratory mouse. She was bred to participate in laboratory experiments to study models social behavior, testing medicines and many other things that directly benefit humanity. For pet lovers, this species is not so attractive, although albino mice can still be found in city apartments.
Each animal needs its own special space, which it will consider “its place” - sacred and inviolable. Therefore, before you bring mice home, you should take care of where they will live. It was before, not after. Because banks and carton boxes absolutely not adapted for the life of rodents. And any move is always stressful.
Avoid aquariums as well. They are cramped, stuffy, hot, the mouse will not be able to move normally in them and arrange a secluded corner for itself. The best solution would be a spacious cage with metal bars.
Rodent cage Be sure to make it yourself or buy a small house - a hole where the mouse will spend all day long.
Place the wheel to provide your pet with physical exercise and realize his need for movement. For the same purpose, take care of shelves, ladders and ropes. The animal will be happy to show you its dexterity, and you will also have fun watching its amusing movements.
Sawdust for rodents The litter is very important element. The layer should be quite impressive - at least 5 mm. Animals use it not only for its intended purpose, but also to decorate their house, and when there are drafts or low temperatures, they burrow into it to keep warm.
The material should be natural and preferably inexpensive: sawdust, dry peat crumbs, shavings, hay. Avoid cotton wool and sand - the first absorbs odors too well and gets tangled between your fingers, and the second can become a breeding ground for lice. But something tells us that you don’t want such neighbors.
Care: mouse by mouse, and cleaning on a schedule
In fact, the house mouse does not need any special care. But taking care of the cleanliness of the cell - the most important condition. And not only for the animal, but also for the owner. Life cycle The infestation of these rodents is so intense that the cage needs to be cleaned at least twice a week. Otherwise, you are guaranteed to have a mouse smell in your apartment.
Cage cleaner By “cleaning the cage” we mean changing the bedding and wiping special means or soapy water on all items in the cage. If you take the trouble and purchase a cage with a retractable tray, the cleaning process will be greatly simplified and will not take much time.
Feeding
Domestic mice, like their wild relatives, are omnivores. But in natural conditions The mouse age is short and is marked by various diseases. It is in your power to avoid trouble and make sure that your pet eats well, does not get sick and does not cause trouble throughout its mouse life.
The mouse eats The main rule is the same as for humans: balanced diet. For you this means a combination of dry and succulent food:
- Dry: grains and seeds, as well as bread, crackers, mixed feed. Mice also happily eat food mixtures and even dry food for and;
- Juicy: apple pieces, sprouted grains, green beans, not very juicy herbs. It is useful to offer insects in the diet from time to time: flies, butterflies and even cockroaches;
- Supplementing with vitamins and minerals once a month will also not be superfluous.
But what you absolutely cannot do is feed rodents with leftover food from your own table: nutritional supplements, spices and excess salt can harm your pet. If only occasionally you pamper yourself with a piece of cheese or other natural product, but not as the main diet.
Be sure to respect the feeding area. Food is only in the feeder. Otherwise, the mice will dirty your cage so much that you will get tired of cleaning it.
Communication
Get ready for the fact that mice are nocturnal creatures, which means that most of your waking hours they will sleep or hide in their house or nest of litter, and rustle at night. But even with this way of life, a mouse, like any living creature, needs communication. At the same time, a lonely mouse needs much more of it than a family of mice. If you devote too little time to a rodent, it will soon become gloomy, withdrawn, quickly run wild and will hide when a person appears.
Don't let the mouse run wild To make your pet active and friendly, talk to him, sit him in your palm, and play more often. It won’t take much time and won’t require excessive effort, but the return will not be long in coming and will be like in that cartoon: you come home, and he is happy with you.
And remember - we are responsible for those we have tamed!

If you follow these rules, then soon the animal will begin to recognize its owner and will gladly go into his arms.
Nutrition
One of the frequently asked questions when purchasing this type of pet is “ what to feed decorative mice" The answer is simple - almost everyone. indiscriminate in food. They love these products:
- corn;
- oats;
- barley;
- corn.
Occasionally you can treat them with a small amount of seeds. Their favorite dishes are curd products, cheese and egg whites (boiled). It should be remembered that these pets, like any other living organisms, require useful material, so you need to buy dry food for them.
Due to the fact that rodents have a very high metabolism, it is necessary to constantly monitor the fullness of the feeder. To reduce the likelihood of dental problems, you should provide mice with twigs from fruit trees, they will grind their teeth on them. Under no circumstances should plants such as:
- wolfberries;
- bracken fern;
- nightshade;
- dope.
The elements contained in the above plants are dangerous to the health of mice and can lead to immediate death.
Reproduction and lifespan of ornamental mice
One more topical issue Today it is considered " How long do decorative mice live?" When answering this question, you need to start from the type of mice, for example, Japanese decorative mice, have a lifespan of barely two years. But for whites this period reaches five years. Regarding the appearance of little mice, everything is simple here; reproduction occurs throughout the whole year. At the age of 35–40 days, mice are ready to breed.
At the same time, maturation in males is slightly slower than in females. Decorative mice produce litters of up to 15 babies at a time. It is advisable to bring a female together with a male only at the age of 3 months, not earlier than and after the mother has fed the babies, and again to bring her together with a male, also not earlier than 3 months.
The female needs to recover. To do this, the male is placed in another cage before birth to avoid re-fertilization immediately after birth. And he cuckoos alone for three months. Labor can begin during the day. And in the evening. And at night. Two weeks after the birth of baby mice, you should not touch them with your hands, you should not scare the mother mouse and it is better not to get into the cage at all. You need to feed intensively.
On the 14th day, it is necessary to accustom them to handling, but very carefully: this is the “flea” period - the mice jump like fleas and can easily slip out of your hands. As a result of the information received, it can be noted that, despite the hostility towards ordinary mice, decorative breeds simply won the hearts of people. Besides price of decorative mice varies from 50 to 500 rubles, which gives almost everyone the opportunity to take on a new family member.
