Pet mouse question?

Question

I have 4 mice. One of them ran away but came back 2 weeks later but not including her, one mouse will come up to me but only to bite me, the other 2 are terrified of me and wont come near me. I am speaking softly, not making sudden movements, giving them treats about 2 times a week and everything. What can I do to make the one stop biting me and the other 2 be less timid?

Answer 1

well i once had a female who bit me because she was pregnant. she might of mated when she was away and is wanting to be alone

Answer 2

mice are generally snake food and dont make good pets, they are timid, and tend to bite. its just how they are

rats are much more friendly

Answer 3

Hmm..

Did you buy feeders or fancy?

Theres a big difference,

Fancys are generally more socialized, and feeders are not..

Or if you got them from some one else, how did they use them? Were they nice, did they not handle them very often, etc etc.

Answer 4

well if they are still a little young they are probably just scared, make sure you wash your hands before you play with them because your hands might smell like food and they might think your fingers are tasty, your other mice might just think you are scary you should buy a book about mice to learn more about them
