What are fun things to do with my pet mice?

i have two boy and girl (separate cages)What are fun things to do with my pet mice?
Buy some new toys for them at you're local pet store. (hamster toys)


you could buy a ball and put them in that and let them race each other and see who won by timing them. Try some new treats. Let them meet. Bathe them, i had a mouse and i used to bathe it and he loved it.





good luckWhat are fun things to do with my pet mice?
do some research on homemade food, home made toys, etc.
I have never owned mice but I own many animals including a gerbil :o) and here is how I suggest you entertain your mice friends:


1. Clean cardboard box(not glossy preferably), add some shredded white paper, paper towels, kleenex, or toilet paper(no dyes) for bedding. Add a paper towel tube or toilet paper roll. Maybe hide a healthy snack underneath the bedding so they have an opportunity to forage. You could use felt on the bottom b/c it doesn't tear.


2. Get two clean cardboard boxes and close them. Cut holes in each one in various areas the diameter of a tunnel(like a tp roll)Connect the boxes with the tubes and they have a club house. Try adding various mouse furniture for variety.


3. If you have a bathtub line it with paper or strips of cardboard and cover the drain with something so they don't get caught. Set up an obstacle course or play area using wooden huts, bent cardboard strips, oatmeal containers, hidden treats, wooden bird ladders with the screws taken out, and tubes. Experiment and see what they like best.


4. Have one crawl in your sweatshirt if they aren't too sneaky. hehe


5. If you don't have a tub area to set up for them you can purchase a storage bin(plastic) and set that up instead. This is a good way to get them out of the cage and take them around the house with you safely.


Start saving cardboard, tissue boxes, tubes/rolls from tp, and other items like containers. If it is plastic, use it under supervision.


Glass jars and clay pots or saucers also can be fun.
