To start with, gain her trust by offering her pieces of food with your fingers and speaking to her calmly and gently. Once she is accepting food from you, wash your hands to remove the scent of food (so she wont confuse your fingers with a treat!) and then you can either A. Scoop her GENTLY up with your hand or B. grip the base (Never the tip or middle) of the tail and lift her onto your hand. Let her run from hand to hand or along your arm but keep your hands/arms low over a soft surface so if she falls she won't hurt herself. If you need to keep the mouse still for inspection, place her on your palm and lightly grip the base of the tail with your finger. Ok to start with don't pick your mouse up at the tip of its tail and hwen you first get itit will talke it about 3-4 days to settle in its new home. Now back to taming put food on you hand and leave your hand in the cage/tank ok put a peice of food you know she likes in between you hands. Some mice wont take it and some mice will quickly grab it and run to there hut. While some may sniff the peace of food and exam it. After hes cofedint of taking food from your hand put a couple peace on you hand and they might climb on your hand and eat the food. Then you can gently scoop your mouse up. You can sometimes hold it by the base of it tail but don't do it alot your mouses tail may falll off but its rare don't worry!!!!!!!
