Which type-of-mice is the best-pet

Answer 1

Fancy mice are the most common type of pet mice. They come in the smaller 'pet' variety most commonly found in pet shops, and also the larger 'show' type that are bred for showing as the name suggests.

Multimmamate mice are the next common - these are also known as natel rats, or african soft-furs. They are larger than pet mice and sometimes have a reputation for being more aggressive although this is usually down to poor upbringing and lack of handling whilst young. They are sometimes referred to as the link between rats and mice.

More exotic tyes of mice include African striped grass mice (Zebra Mice), African Pygmy Mice and Harvest mice. The availability of these may depend on the laws in your country, and they require more specialised care than fancy mice. They are not often handleable so are pets more to observe than interact with.

Answer 2

It depends on your need.
Guinea pigs are good if you dont have a cat or dog, and have room outside. Rats are more hardy than guinea pigs, and can withstand some stress from animals, but should be kept up high or out of reach of other pets. Mice require less attention than rats, as dont dirty cages as fast. should also be kept away from other pets to avoid stress/ heart attacks. & if buying multiple mice: 2+ girls will get along. 2+ boys will fight. 2+ boys and girls will breed. alot.

Answer 3

You can, but it will not be as good a pet as a domesticated mouse.
