How should a pet mouse be handled?
A mouse should not be picked up by the tail or nape of the neck because this causes discomfort and pain. If
necessary, a mouse can be grasped by the base of the tail and lifted. Another method of getting a mouse out of
a cage until it gets used to being handled is to scoop it up in a cup.
A mouse will usually go into a cup because of its curious nature.
When purchased at a young age, a mouse will tame very quickly; it will take food from fingers and eventually
climb onto the owner's hand.
