- Housing/Caging: Housing may be achieved by keeping the mice in 10 gallon glass aquarium. Inexpensive lab cages designed specifically for mice may also be purchased and are available from most reptile supply houses and specialty mail order firms. Pine shavings may be used for substrate or torn newspaper may be used. The newspaper is less expensive, but is messy and requires more frequent cleaning. Cedar shavings should NEVER be used as a substrate as it is known to be harmful to mice. A water bottle should be provided and is best secured on the inside of the enclosure with velcro strips. The substrate should be aspen.
- Food: Mice should be fed a varied diet including hamster/gerbil food, lab blocks and some dog food. All of this can be purchased at most grocery stores and pet stores. A constant supply of food should be available at all times.
