Well, that's one way to end up with a pet mouse

[Ditto]

This is one of the reasons I don’t ever want to feed live prey
I’d end up falling in love with the mice.. especially since I have had pet mice before. They are extremely smart and live a good 6-8 years if cared for well!

No, actually, they can't lol. The oldest mouse ever recorded died at four, and the average pet mouse usually only makes it to two with good care. It's really sad rats & mice have such short lifespans, they're truly amazing, personable animals that can leave real impacts on people (though I've never personally kept mice, I love my rats to the moon and back )

And I totally agree, I could never feed live consistently, I'd be overrun with mice within a few weeks!
