Here are the things you will need to keep a pet mouse:
1. A cage. The cage should be just the right size for 1 mouse to move around. Obviously, you would want a bigger cage if your keeping multiple mice.
2. Food made specifically for mice. Just fill up the food dish whenever it looks empty.
3. Bedding for the cage. You can use the commercial "odor-block" bedding or just plain old shaved pine. Make sure you choose bedding that does not attract bugs. Do not use cedar. Although cedar keeps the pests away, it can cause respiratory problems. Change the bedding 2x a week. It's also a good idea to scrub down the cage every now and again.
4. A food dish and a water bottle. Test the water bottle with your finger to make sure it's working correctly. Be sure to scrub the food dishes when it's starting to look dirty.
5. An exercise wheel. You don't want a fat mouse, do you?
6. Patience. It takes time to build a bond with the animal. Try to hand feed it. It'll get used to you eventually. It's a good idea to give the mouse fresh fruit as a snack. This would be a nice break from the regular mouse food. Don't feed them sweets or cheese. This can make them have the "runs".

Can you use Purell on a pet mouse?
Technically, yes you probably could use Purell hand sanitizer on a pet mouse without killing it. However, you would need to keep the mouse from grooming until the sanitizer evaporated off to prevent potential intoxication of the mouse. In general, mice keep themselves very clean and don't need to be washed or sanitized by their owners, so I wouldn't suggest doing this. It would be a good idea for you to use the Purell on your own hands after handling your pet mouse, though - mice carry Salmonella in their intestines that can make you sick if you aren't careful about hand hygiene.
