How To Care For Mice

[Beemanq]

I dont get this whole "measure the gap between the ass and yadda yadda". Take it from a pro, pet keepers: the foolproof way to check the sex of anything is CHECKING IT FOR BALLS. lol

[HelloHenni]

The tank is too small,don't hold the mouse by the tail,mice are not a pet for children,they need more toys and branches to climb on,they should not live alone,you should have at least two mice,male mice have to be fixed to life together,there have to be more than 15cm of bedding,so they can dig. People should not put up vids about how to care for a mouse,if they have wrong informations....

[TheBucketSkill]

@HelloHenni There mice. They don't need extreme luxury. What I do? Buy a big Kritter Keeper Cage, but some wire mesh at the plastic where they can chew away, Place newspaper shavings, feed, water, toys. I play with him alot, make him mazes ect. And the video doesn't tell you to pick it up by the tail. The base of the tail, so you can put your hand under it. My mouse is extremely happy. >_>

[mizzraika]

..hold them by the tail? Even at the base, this could really make the tail break off over time..

[TheAndroid219]

@petsarepeopleto Are you that stupid?

[petsarepeopleto]

@TheAndroid219 uh sorry i know its just a comment but dont get all rude about it ok im just asking

[GamingTollers]

mmmm meal worms, top of the line nutrition, to bad they crawl all over your cage and then get out then you find them places you don't want to find bugs.

[Sasukerym]

i have 1 mice that calm and the other one isnt it can jump very high and it cry each time i i play with it how can i tame it it escaped from me 2 time

[petsarepeopleto]

hey can you keep pet mice in a shed?

[123456789bradley]

@petsarepeopleto yeh thats what im doing with mine

[petsarepeopleto]

@123456789bradley cool:P

[fishypoop45]

i used to have a mouse...but then i took a bb bullet to the foot

[TheDingsing123]

thanks for the vid but i am not feedin ma new mouse insects thats just wrong its just wrong

[JuliaWasHerex3]

I was gonna get a mouse.. But my mom talked me into getting a gerbil instead o:

[shingstar1]

i feed mice to my lizards and snakes..............troll....f­ace

[dj201199]

There is no u in behavior!

[rocknrolljunkie2011]

I ran into a little gray something with a long tail. I'm not sure if it was a house mouse or a baby rat, he was in the middle of my kitchen around noon. I do not want to hurt him, I'm not going to.

I've found some good tips on trapping him, does anyone know if there is a chance that I could turn him into a pet?

Thanks.

[MDthornton83]

1 to 2 years? Wow that's a pretty short life span.

[AutopsyReport22]

@MDthornton83 No, mice are actually 6 mons to a yr life span. I think it's hamsters that live 2 yrs because they are less active. 

[TheBucketSkill]

@AutopsyReport22 Wrong. The maximum possible lifespan ever recorded, was 4 years. Average is 2.

[AutopsyReport22]

@TheBucketSkill Yes, that 4 yr lifespan is for 1 out of about 5 or 6 mice. Most live only to two. I've owned hamsters (similar to mice) and they've lived two. Likewise, the lifespan for humans can reach 114, but how many of us actually live to that?

[XXSoren01]

many people say not to hold it by the tail. i personally think it's bad. You Might Pull It's SKIN! :OOOO :DDD

[fishymusician]

Thank you so I know what to do

[hamsterbot2000]

hes pulling his tail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EXPLOSIVEEGG]

I love the conclusions of this video."DONE!" =D

[QuinniFabray98]

I had to get rid of my mice because of my cousin, he used to pick them up by the tip of the tail and drop them and throw them everywhere:( I miss having them...

[RightURKen7]

@QuinniFabray98 You should have got rid of your cousin instead.

[Wolfbeast01]

That mouse looks sick and old

[Digityjardog]

I have two healthy ass, fit female rats. I am wondering if I can use Aspen bedding for them?

[kingkevin1996]

@Digityjardog yeah man, my 3 mice love aspen bedding thats the one i use. aspen and care fresh are recommended 4 small animals. just don't use pine or cedar.

[smilez3344]

hey i have a question i found a baby boy mouse that was wild and my cat was toying wuth it and it was barley alive. now i amkeeping him in a cardboard bok with bunny pellets news paper and a little cap with water in it. and i dont want to hold him but ive been holding him by a sock and hes really cold. is this safe and give me a few pointerss on mice this is my first pet that is from the wild!

[LilacDownDeep]

@smilez3344 You should not keep wild mice as pets. They'll get stressed and die very quickly in captivity with the human handling and all. Just keep the mouse warm and feed it when possible. How big is it, if it's still alive now?

[tyler361549]

Man made structures are not the natural habitats of mice.

[wert1234188]

Sometimes when I'm alone at night, I cover myself in vaseline and pretend im a slug.

[greenink45622]

@wert1234188 WTF!!!!!!

[WellBakedCheese]

@wert1234188 ROFL

[kingkevin1996]

@wert1234188 wtf dude that's weird. go on Dr. Phil o.o

[Awesumkake]

NEVER PICK UP ANY ANIMAL BY THE TAIL!!!!!

[Drbranza]

@Awesumkake except from mice.... u should pick them up by the tail

[Awesumkake]

@Awesumkake noooo not eeven mice its a painful thing to do....

its like if u have long hair in a ponytail then picking u up from there!!!

[AirsoftGuy02]

thumbs up if u saw that they spelled behavior wrong

[jahooma24]

im goin to go to go take a shit and wen i come back this better be a top comment

[Llamafroguana]

@jahooma24 fail

[jahooma24]

what the hell, i aint givin my mices no mealworms none, they r the disgustingest things ever and aint no mice goin eat it aint. mayne whah yall thankin.

[TheRatGirl4ever]

The rat care video by VideoJug was so unreal and wrong, I won't even bother to see how bad this one is.

[WarLizards]

@TheRatGirl4ever then why bother commenting on it?

[Smoky688]

my mice are like roylty to me so theres no way i ginin my babies bugs they could carry mites. plus if the mice get im the one who has to pay.

[webkinzlover142]

my cat murdered mine :,( RIP star and moon

[SpringMist1]

@webkinzlover142  I am so sorry. My cat got his paw in the cage and attacked mine as well.

[MultiBubbleBox]

Why Feed Them Bug Yuck I never Do that re Mice Reaally Meant To Eat Bugs? "yuck" :\

[Reptiledictionary225]

@wowjman713 how am I a cheap ass Jew when ur name is jman and that obviously stands for Jew man. If u call me cheap for trying to spend only a little bit of money because I am only thirteen and don't have a steady income of money. Then go ahead. Be my guest. Dick head

[Reptiledictionary225]

Will they drink from a bowl? I don't want to spend unneccasary money on a bottle if they will. And is it okay to have one story in stead of two? Also, I have a branch that's been sterilized. Can I put it in their cage so they can climb?

[WOWjman713]

@Reptiledictionary225 cheap ass jew

[caseyapexnc]

I read on ASPCA.org that you should not feed them peanuts.

[rwjrock1]

i dont care about wat you say ,i aint giving live insects to my mice

[tiger123655]

@rwjrock1 i just started the video AND HECK NO I AINT' GIVING BUGS TO MIDNIGHT my mouse i don't even know why i am watching this, i have cared for mice for a very long time.

[HelloHenni]

@rwjrock1 you can also give dead,dried insects

[ExtremeSparkle]

my mouse has lost all her fur. can you help me? see my video 'twitch and ginge' for more details

[Epsonthegiraffe]

The cage is too small.

[WhyImAwsome]

Blehh

I dont really know if I would gett a mouse :s So small :P I likke rats better ;o

[clamy97]

glass cages are bad cause they dont let enough air come into the cage

[blastermitch]

@clamy97 Glass cages are fine if the roof allows airflow. I have kept many many mice in glass or plastic homes with no problem at all. They clean a lot easier too.

[ambersarahmarie]

gosh his voice is annoying now isnt it?

[MYcareLEVELis1]

@petratsrock not if you have a holding cage

[BinkiMaus1]

@MYcareLEVELis1 What is a holding cage? I´m thinking about getting some mice, to replace my gerbil´s.

[MYcareLEVELis1]

@BinkiMaus1 holding cage is something to put all the mice or watevr in wile u clean the entire mian cage. very handy. BUT mice stink like hell so yeah

[HelloHenni]

@MYcareLEVELis1  mine don't stink oO very strange

[rjske5]

[TheWorldofPets]

[maddenfreak19]

[MyFishCare101]

[ThePetTalkShow]

This is like the best care video for mice. cause I kinda question expert village cause I lisende to them for care and my mice got super sick but Video Jug's info help me way more

[McAdamExotics]

@ThePetTalkShow i think your right aswell

[ThePetTalkShow]

@McAdamExotics THX alot of my friends don't watch expert village

[TheRatGirl4ever]

[DarkAngelAzreil]

Just rescued a little mouse and want to get it a friend...but I have no idea what gender it is. Better go take a look at that. If it is female will it be okay to get her another female from a diffrent litter? Will they fight because I don't want my mouse to get hurt.

[JustineHinz]

@DarkAngelAzreil it doesnt really matter what litter they come from. its just better if they are sisters or are the same age. anyway is the Mouse that u "saved" ferrel? coz if it is u can not get another Mouse to put with it because if the Mouse has any sort of disease the other Mouse can catch it and maybe you.

[kungfoolai]

can anyone help me. i have a mouse and its about 3 months old, its a male, i was wondering if it would be ok to get another one??

[msacu1997]

@kungfoolai Yeah, you can get another one.. But make sure the other mouse you are about to get isn't also a male.. Because bucks (male mice) are kind of territorial and will most likely attack any new bucks introduced..

Therefore..

Get a female..

Hehe..

[trinity00matrix00]

@kungfoolai no .. males will fight .. unless its from the same litter in a large cage huge

if you want multiple mice you need females ie 2 females

[tetedtertr]

where did you get that tank i love it

[joyannaroof]

@tetedtertr i know right that what im wondering

[unable2fail911]

how do you know about how young they are without being told because i bought some and i have no age how old they are i will be going back soon to ask and but some accesories for them but i'd like to know

[emzypel]

i dont pick mice up like that it can break their backs

[JustineHinz]

@emzypel it depends on how u hold it by its tail. it only brakes their back or makes their tail come off if u dont hold it near their bumm.

[rahrah820]

i dont think you slould pick them up like that that can engery there tail besides that great viedo

[justyousee1]

I found my mice love lettuce, watermelon, and cantaloupe. But hate carrots and worms. Love almonds, walnuts, and peanuts (in their shells).

[themousemaster]

u can give them bugs?

[looterwolf]

dont pick mice up by the tail

its like being picked up by the pinis it would hurt so suport the tail

[samwhich99]

u can pick up a mouse by the tail ONLY if its at the base to far down and u can rip it off

[gemause]

dont pick up mice wth the tail !!! not even from the base (with support from the other hand) its no good !!! you know nothing about mice and i suffer with them !!!

[lilbasteard]

their piss smells so bad though it they smell like their piss

[lilbasteard]

mice eat salads well my mouse does

[beyouweh]

DONT PICK UP MICE WITH THE TAIL! :S

[ThePann1]

yes you can but only from the base and with body support from the other hand :)

[ChocolateAndHazel]

Mice can grow up to 6-8 centimeters? Wow! I don't think my mice will ever grow that big!

[airfoce26]

1:38 pee on his hand loool

[lindadiane2]

As long as you use "kiln-dried" pine, it's fine for them or hamsters. No toxins

[ThePann1]

as long as its dust extracted its fine too

[WamjamJeff]

and notice how the mouse doesnt eat the food because it doesnt eat salads

[WamjamJeff]

wtf some of the information in the video is really incorrect. I mean like, use soft fiber puff ball things as your bedding and not apen chips. Also, mice arent insectivores. They dont eat worms. And, you dont pick it up by the tail, thats like getting picked up by your penis or getting your dick ripped off.

[ThePann1]

i do a animal welfare course and you can pick up mice by the tail but only the base and its no where near like bring picked up by your penis and you should support the body with the other hand when picking them up this way, you can give meal worms but only about once a week as a treat, he showed way too much food and meal worms for the mice lol

[Mariaelizabeth98]

i'm going to be getting some mice soon!

[pokemongirl3345]

i got a mouse recently his name is jerry

[pokemongirl3345]
