| | | House mice
Hi,
I suspect I've got some house mice in my kitchen. Does anyone know if it's possible for me to make a little home for them and to keep them, as oposed to killing/moving them. |

Do you mean in some sort of enclosure? Because cute though they are, you wouldn't want them widdling on your food. |

lots of widdles is something all rodent keepers have to deal with though!  As for disease, just take the usual safety precautions, all animals including us carry disease and you are more likely to pick up a tummy bug or flu from public transport then a rodent disease |

But its whether you want to take that risk, with wildlife, mice carry far worse things than the common cold. Eitherway from a personal point of view i dont agree with keeping wildlife as a pet. |

I have to say I agree with you about keeping wildlife as pets unless there is no other option ie blind or disabled animal that would be happy living in captivity and then that would depend on the individual animal. | | |
