Hello!

I am planning to get mice and I have completely convinced my family except there is one problem. They think mice smell a ton. I'm planning to get 3 female mice. Do they smell very bad? If so how can I reduce the smell to say, the smell of a hamster.

 

Also, is 1/4 of an inch (0.635cm) spacing on mesh ok for mice? Can they escape?

 

Thanks so much.

Ok so I have never owned mice but I did some research for you, and basically female mice smell significantly less then male mice, A large cage can reduce smell, deep bedding, daily spot cleaning, so basically the same you would do with a hamster

Thank you. I'm planning on getting a good sized cage with at least 7 inches of bedding.
