One of the best and easiest pets to take care of is a mouse. It is easier and cheaper than a dog, and it is a better friend than a cat. A mouse is interesting to watch. It loves being with people. And it does not bite and scratch some other pets.

A mouse's house is not as expensive as a dog's. You can use a shoe box, but a stronger box is better. It will be easier to clean. Put a smaller box into the bigger box, too. That is important. Sometimes dogs and cats will try to eat your mouse. They are very dangerous! Your mouse can run into its little box. It will be safer and happier there than in the big box.

A mouse needs a lot of exercise. It does not like having nothing to do. So give it something to climb on. Make two floors in its house. Then it can climb up and down.

A mouse eats everything. It loves fruit. It does not eat as much as some pets, but it eats more often. Give it something to eat two or three times every day.
