Would you consider having a mouse as a pet?

They say having a pet can be a rewarding experience, but we never thought that would include mice.

It is not frowned upon to go out in public with your pets, but these pets are usually cats, dogs, and birds. Just as you won’t see people walking around with their snakes, you won’t see people walking around with their mice either.

At least that’s what we thought.

A video shows a woman waiting in line at a takeout restaurant. The person behind her notices her hair moving and starts filming.

Looking closer, we see a mouse. The mouse has found a comfortable refuge in her hair and at first we thought she might not know it, but then we realized it could be her pet.

We did some research and found that mice are low maintenance pets and can become friendly when handled with care.

This reminded us of “Stuart Little” – he was beyond friendly and had a fascinating personality. It seems that having a mouse as a pet can be very beneficial. Not only are they friendly (when taken care of), but they are also entertaining, inexpensive, and overall low-maintenance pets.

However, if you like to sleep, they may not be suitable for you as they are nocturnal and are known to be noisy at night.
