This will depend upon your definition of cruel - if you provide adequate food, water, shelter and room to express normal behaviors, some will say this is not cruel. Others will disagree.
A more practical point is keeping wild animals as pets isn't safe, for you or the animal. Domesticated animals (cats, dogs, ferrets, some rodents) have adapted to life with humans and get along pretty well. Wild animals fear humans and will typically react with either flight (trying to run away) or fight (trying to kill you). In either reaction, the animal or you may end up dead. Also, wild animals cannot be treated with the same medications and vaccines that domesticated animals can, and wild animals carry different diseases than domesticated animals. Illness can travel both ways between humans and animals, with devastating effects.

Is it fair to keep mice as pets?
It depends on how you view it. If you view it as a wild animal taken from the wild, such as a deer mouse or a mouse found around the house, it would most likely cause extreme distress. However, domestic mice (fancy mice) cannot survive on their own due to their coat coloration and lack of wild instinct. It's more fair to keep them as pets than to release them into the wild where they wouldn't last more than a day or two, max. That would be considered cruel and unfair.
