Would you consider having a mouse as a pet?
This seems like a regular thing for people now, having rodents as pets.
It has been said that having a pet can be a rewarding experience, but we never thought that would include mice.
Being out in public with your pets isn't frowned upon, but those pets usually consist of cats, dogs, and birds. Just as you wouldn't find people generally moving around with their snakes, nor would you see anyone moving around with their mice.
Or so we thought.

A video shows a woman standing in line at a takeaway restaurant. The person standing behind her notices her hair moving and so begins videoing.
Upon closer examination, we see a mouse. The mouse comfortably found refuge inside her hair and, at first, we thought she might not know about it, but then we realised it could be her pet.

We researched and discovered that mice are low-maintenance pets and can become friendly when handled with care.
This made us think about 'Stuart Little' - he was more than friendly and had a fascinating personality. It seems that having a mouse as a pet can be quite advantageous. Not only are they friendly (when cared for), but they are also entertaining, inexpensive, and low-maintenance pets overall.
However, if you enjoy your sleep, they might not be the right fit since they are nocturnal and have been known to be noisy at night.
