Muffin the mousie has a rich dark chocolate coat. As with many mice, he is fearful of being picked up and quick to leap out of your hand so any handling needs to be over soft bedding. He he will take his favourite treats, Rice Krispies, from your fingers. He is curious and likes to explore his enclosure enriched with tunnels, houses and toys. With a consistent, gentle and patient approach he will likely become quite interactive – did you know that when mice are comfortable with you they sometimes like to play a chase and tag game with your hand? Let him take his time, and Muffin will eventually consider you his best friend.
Male mice can’t be housed together as they will fight. Therefore it is especially important to provide them with an interesting enclosure with lots of enriching play items to keep them occupied. To learn more about mice please look here: https://spca.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/mouse-care-guide.pdf
