Hey there guys,
I'm planning on buying some mice soon (after I get this information most likely)
I was just wondering what someone like me would be looking at (no prior experience).
I work at home all day and have a desk and was wondering whether (i read that with time) the mice could be domesticated to hang out on my desk
even if that doesnt work out im still interested in having them crawl over my hands and such (yes i realise this takes time).
but for starting out what materials will I need and can anyone give me a rough estimation of how much money down I'll be putting. Get as specific as you want, and yes I can order online if there are great deals. All though I want these mice pretty badly I'm willing to wait a few weeks to make sure I start off strong and right.
so I'm looking at getting these materials
# of mice ( I'm thinking 2 or 3 females? ordinairy hopefully theyll be friendly enough at the pet shop?)
A cage, not sure what kind is best
What to feed them, I've read about vegetables and mainly everything but is there a stock food I should have a bag of for everydya purposes and post the diets you give your mice please.
Ideas for obstacles (this of course depends on the cage)
do's and dont's (from your exprience)
I plan on getting a water bottle type set up to facilitate their thirst
I plan on keeping them in my room and won't be home most of the day due to school and friends, however I plan on spending lots of time interacting with them, will they be noisy at night? I hope it won't keep me up.
Also I have a guitar and like to play it (obviously) are mice into music or what?
it's mostly relaxing finger picking stuff with some jazzy progressions.
Feel free to post all your comments,thoughts and ideas I'll read them all. Thanks
