Feeder mice like to be handled and will eat mouse food. Mice who live in the wild - or in your attic - are afraid of people and forage for seeds, grasses, pet food, crumbs, and anything else they can find to eat.
Wild mice who are adopted and raised by humans will accept people as their main source of food and will start eating commercial mouse food at three to four weeks old.
Wild mice can carry parasites and viruses that can be transmitted to humans.

What color is the fur of mice?
Both fancy mice and feeder mice are the same TYPE of mice, with the same genetics. The difference is that fancy mice are (hopefully, although at most pet stores, this isn't the norm) bred for temperament, color, and health. Feeder mice are typically just bred for snake food, so nothing else is taken into consideration. HOWEVER, please note that some pet stores will separate all the mice they get into feeder and fancy based on colouration. (white mice are feeder, while 'pretty' ones are fancy) This does not necessarily mean that one will be a better pet than the other. One is probably just cheaper. Here are the most common: Agouti- brown (the color of wild house mice) Black Recessive yellow (fawn/gold color) Chocolate Beige Lilac (gray) Blue (deep gray) PEW (pink eyed white) In addition, a mouse may be broken (meaning spotted), Fox (meaning that the belly is a different color than the back of the mouse), brindle (striped), and long, short, or curly haired.

Not all mice are wild. You can buy domestic mice from a pet shop, they have been bred to be tame. Though most mice are wild, they are the kind that live outside and sometimes in people's houses. Wild mice are pests because they can endanger native animals and invade people's houses. Pet mice are actually really good though.
