You should visit a qualified exotics veterinarian at least once a year for check-ups on your mouse’s diet, behavior, and health.
Be prepared for your pet’s visits by making a list of any questions or concerns you may have ahead of time. Many health problems are preventable with proper diet and care.

Domesticated mice are clean, docile pets that rarely bite. They enjoy socialization with both other mice as well as humans. Want to keep your pet mouse busy for hours? Fill a box with one of Oxbow’s grass hays and hide your mouse’s favorite treat inside. He’ll enjoy both the excitement and challenge of the treasure hunt!
