Our classroom mice (from the same litter)died in the last 2 weeks. So this morning we went and picked our new classroom pets. Mice again. happyface Was only going to get two. The white one ran up my arm while I was helping get the spotted one, so I had to keep it. :D

They’re so cute! I’m sure the kids will love them.

So what's the best trap you recommend for them?
:ouch: They are kind of cute. In a cage. At someone else's place.:) |
awe, I used to have mice when I was a little girl! they are so cute!

When I was a kid we had rats. Sounds gross but they’re calmer than mice (they never bit), and if you get them young their tails are still small and not ugly. They make great, low-maintenance pets, and we had a series of them over the years. The good/bad thing is they only live about 2-3 years, which worked well for my parents. I’d want my kids to have pets that lived a little longer.

I love animals, love watching them. :) My niece has a snake, even s/he had me mesmerized. I've had hamsters, birds, turtles, rabbits, cats, ducks, dogs, a monkey. (my parents were very forgiving and patient);) Animals have a place just like we do. :) And those 3 cute little mice will have a nice place in Dave's house. ;) |

I had 2 pet rats in college. They were very affectionate towards me for for a while. As they got older, they developed a crazy bond for each other and didn't like me as much anymore. They also got super smart. They learned how to unlatch their cage at night and I found out that they were running all around my house and getting into my snacks and then returning to their cage and relatching it in the morning! I had to get rid of them after that because I didn't want to be part of a rat uprising :lol:

Apologizing to the squirrel the entire way!! :lol: lovethis |
@ indoorvoice, reminds me of the movie, Willard. I loved that movie! Haha crazy movie. I had rats as a young adult and I grew to like them. I agree mine were very smart.
