mice bite only occasionally like when you squeeze them or frighten them. As soon as i got my first mouse i was really excited and so i wanted to play with it. (not a good idea) he bit me because i picked him up wrong and frightened him. they dont generally bite and the bite only bled a little bit and it was tiny.

CrapBox: They can also give really nasty scratches if your pick them up and they don't want to be, you have to be careful not to stick your fingers through the cage, not to have food on your hands when trying to pick up the mouse, and not to squeeze them or touch them where they squeal (EG: Some don't like there tummy being petted they will sequel and nip you, it's cute thought, but hurts) :)

"I believe so

I have had mice for years, and have not ever been bitten by pet mice, they sometimes nibble but that's not really biting. Wild mice bite out of fear."

That is a little off, wild mice DO bite out of fear. They can (VERY slowly) chew through metal. And what is harder? Skin or Metal. That solves the question.

But usually there are some Nappy mice, because mice and like humans and have emotions and personalities. Some WILL be nappy and bite. If they don't, you're lucky.

Yes, it does. Mice have very sharp little teeth, and they'll bite hard when they're scared or aggressive. On the other hand, sometimes they just "nip" in warning. That doesn't really hurt, but you can definitely feel it.

yes they do bite.... as to why, im not quite sure- but all animals bite.

my one bit me because i panicked to get her tail uncaught, so that situation was because she was scared and in pain.

the other one is normally sketchy and squinty and has made a few snaps at me and my boyfriend - and has bit the other mouse to the point of her missing toes and a good chunk off her tail. just now i caught her chasing the one around the cage biting her back.

I'm assuming its just hit and miss with what ones you pick.

Yes of course it can. This is one of the ways a mouse protects itself.

Well, they'd much prefer to run and hide. But if there's nowhere for them to run they can certainly try to get a nip in.
