How do you tame a baby mouse?

Answer 1

first part is making it get used to your hand, just lay your hand in the container, and place a piece of cheese in the center of your palm, take out any other sources of food from the container, and be patient, after a little bit the mouse will get hungry, and your hand will not have made any sudden movements, so it will crawl onto your hand, (DO NOT TRY TO HOLD THE MOUSE, this could scar it and cause it to not trust you, after you have gotten the mouse in your palm, wiggle your hand a bit, it will most likely jump back, if it does, keep your had still, and when it gets back on your hand, wiggle your hand again, wiggling your hand will help your mouse get used to your hand moving around him/her. Then start holding cheese in your fingers out to the baby mouse, and then wait for it to nibble at the cheese your holding, also you could make like a play pen, like take a baby doll crib, or a real crib and let the mouse run around in it, and to transport him you could first put him in a cup and move him to the play pen for 15 minutes or so, and then move to your hand under a glass cup, then to your hand. the key is PATIENCE.

Answer 2

Actually, a mouse liking cheese is a commonly mistaken thing. Cheese actually is not the best thing to feed your mouse. Feed it seeds and grains.

The best way to make a mouse feel at home is to give it lots of places to hide. And if the mouse is female, give it one or more mouse companions, also females. Two males may fight together, especially if a female is around. Hope that helped a bit more!
