Thumbs up if your parents don't let you get a pet mouse because, "They are scary."

I feed these things to my bearded dragon....but he decides to be friends with them...:P

yeh he was loose alot of the time in my mouse safe bedroom. When he was ready for food/sleep he'd sit outside of his tank and wait for me to offer my hand, up which he'd climb and id put him back. never known another mouse like Barley.

@samphire87 when u let ur mouse out to play is it actully on the floor or in an enclosure because my mice would run away

@rainclaw35 Dude, get your facts straight. Snakes eat live animals... and they LIKE it.

i toilet trained my mouse to pee in jam jars. He had a jar in his cage and on outside for playtime :)

i began by simply putting his poop in the jar when he went, then he just kinda did it himself. It really was no effort for him. It might be obvious to point out but the jars were on their side lol.

@kittiesrule200 I don't think you can. Best you can do is poop and pee on them back to even the score.

@2t22tornadosiren Story of my life!

[Emoneyo2]

@rainclaw35 Really? Really? i'm not even going to argue with you and there is a reason on why I feed him "live" and it is because balls are known to be picky eaters and that's all my pet store has for sell, you think I want to do it? no ! but I have too in order for my snake to survive and how dare you question me and tell me what i can't and can do, and yeah whatever the mouse is already dead anyway, some birds or feral cats, must have gotten him by now so idc! :p

@Emoneyo2

how dare you come with that story like you are some kind of hero?

the very LEAST you could do is feed your snake already dead animals. its better for the snake and better for the food. it sickens me how you can even offer advice to the new people that want to get them after how you can treat the animals. and by the way it IS possible to toilet train mice, it just takes a lot of work. how can you say that that mouse is lucky to be your pet? i hope it doesnt have to spend more with u.
