Any animal can be mean, regardless of the species. It's a matter of disposition and intimidation.

An animal who is exposed to displeasurable situations from a source will dislike whatever it is that is causing it displeasure. Each time this happens, it results in a negative shift in its disposition toward the source (and what it relates to the source). The opposite of this being favorable situations, resulting in contentedness and a positive shift in its disposition toward the source. The way the animal reacts is determined by its level of intimidation, if it isn't intimidated by the unpleasant source, it will likely try to force it to stop.

Due a mouse's small stature though, one in good mental health is highly unlikely react aggressively toward people.

In short: if your mouse is being mean to you, it's probably mentally ill.

It depends if they were handled when they were babies. Fancy mice rarely do bite though. With constant handling and training the will become very attached to you.

Is mice a singular word?

"Mice" is the plural form of "mouse." So, say you buy one of them at the pet store. Your sentence would be, "I bought a mouse at the pet store today!" If you bought more than one, it would be, "I bought several mice at the pet store today."

Do all pets have teethIf they do do they all bite?

All pets except for some fish have teeth, but most pets if properly trained will not bite(dogs, cats, ferrets and other CARNIVOROUS* pets can easily be trained to not bite, especially if they are around people as infants) (rabbits, mice, hamsters, gerbils and other HERBIVOROUS pets do not have a bite as self defense instinct and will most likely never develop a biting habit) so you do not need to worry about your future pet biting you when looking for a pet, but find a reputable breeder or shelter and get to know the pet before you bring him/her home * carnivorous pets will NOT eat you but they may bite you(not in an eating way but in a defense way) if they are threatened by you
