aloha,
My 5 male mice live in a 10 gallon house together, going on over one year
just about now since I split the litter.
I haven't played with the mice too much, and I'm wondering if it's too
late
to make them a bit more comfortable with me. If I put my hand on the
outside
of the house, or put my face up to it, they'll come up and push up on the
wall, looking curious. If I put my hand on the top of the lid (say to put
in
more food), they tend to scurry for cover at the intrusion.
I'd like to be able to play with the mice a bit, but at this point I'm
concerned if I take them out and let them roam around on the bed or
something they would jump/run/hide/etc.
Any advice on taming the mice to be more comfortable with me? The obvious
seems like I should just pick them up and hold them often, but with five
mice it seems like alot of work and very time consuming.
Any advice on the area would be appreciated!!
