I posted this on a mouse forum and hamster forum and nobody has answers so I thought I would see if a more active cat forum knew anything about mice.
I owned 2 hamsters (in separate cages of course) and one of them died a few weeks ago. I have decided to get mice, and I purchased everything I need and sanitized all the hamster things I am reusing. I have done much research using emiology and other mice YouTubers but I have a few remaining questions. By the way, I will be getting 3 female mice. Anyways, here are my questions.
1. How often should I feed fresh fruits and vegetables, and how much for 3female mice?
2. How often should I clean their cage?
3. What does a cage clean look like for mice? I know hamsters hate having cage cleans so I only do it ever 1-2 months, but I’ve heard things can build up quicker in mice so how should I go about cleaning the cage? Like a full deep clean?
4. Do mice smell extremely bad, if so how to manage it? I have hemp, aspen and paper bedding (paper bedding will just be nesting material) because I heard wood bedding is better.
Thank you for the help.
