These 2 rascals are apart of my family. They were a Xmas present for my mother. But I ended up having to look after them... Can't complain they are really nice and sweet. Brown one is Mystic and White is Storm. Both females and 3 months old.

@Faith04 They are called Fancy mice/mouse.(which ever you prefer to call them) They have a very short life span which is a shame. Mystic likes to bite my hand. Storm likes to go to the toilet on me. -_-
Depends on situations. Stress can really hurt them and make their life span shorter. However if done properly they live for just over 3 years if you are lucky. It is better to have either 2 female mice so they can get along, or just one male as the male mice tend to be more aggressive to one another. A male and a female would not be wise unless you wanted them to mate as they produces a huge amount of offspring.
They tend to bite and nibble as well but you have to endure it to build trust so they allow you to handle them. Other than that they really like to play in my hair. :D
I have no idea!! Storm may have just wanted to put food away as they tend to carry food back to their small blue house we have for them and eat in there. Maybe my hair was the next best thing. xD
They also tend to need the wheel they use for running to be cleaned every few days. since they run and go to the toilet at the same time on it. THe fumes are actully deadly to the mice as well so can not neglect them one bit.
@SimpleDave i cant stand to neglet any kind of animal like that and i would do anything tok keep them alive for as long as possible but j thinnk i would be sad when they died
@Faith04 Same I am not looking forward to 2-3 years from now when they pass away. It will be really heart breaking. Always the worst part of owning pets since they do not have as long a life span as us.
