ALL animals can, and even will, bite for many reasons. Fancy mice, house mice, wild mice, Asian mice, it doesn't matter... Mouse, dog, snake, elephant, giraffe, whale, porpoise, ALL ANIMALS BITE.
THAT SAID:
WEANLING MICE might bite, looking for a nipple, and if the piece of skin on your hand fits into their mouth, they will bite out of curiosity, to see if milk will flow, & ease their hunger.
MOTHER MICE WILL give you a warning nip, (I've received many) if you get too close to their babies or another mouse's babies.
This is because mice are very social creatures. They will adopt the babies of other mother mice, they will nurse another litter of mouse pups if the mom dies.
You can even wet nurse mice to rats, who have a richer milk.
Female mice have 10 nipples, & larger size litters as a result.
So, all sorts of mice bite, for all sorts of reasons. Male & female mice bite each other when they fight. I've seen both male, & female, mice bite, & hang on (to the point of being dragged) grab hold of a male mouse's testicals, but I don't know why.
There is at least 1 reading that shows male mice have no nipples, but I want to test that by doing more research before vouching completely for that because, as you know, nipples, except for marine mammals & Disney cartoon males.
