If my mouse gets loose, how long will it live?

Question

My friends and I are sharing this feeder mouse between eachother. This morning I came to find that he had escaped. He could be ANYWHERE in my house. This sounds bad, but my best hope is that he dies. I know if well kept, a feeder mouse will live about 1-3 years, but does anyone know how long an average feeder mouse will live if he doesn't have any food or water?

Answer 1

Your best hope is that he dies?

Answer 2

it will survive. mouses have ways of finding food.

Answer 3

The thing is, they can get ANYWHERE in the house, and therefore will be able to find food and water. How do you think so many people's homes have mice in them? They are very smart at finding food.
