I used to raise mice. A hopper is the nickname for baby mice in between fuzzies and adults. So named because at this age they tend to hop more than scurry. Unless you have gerbils. I've heard them called hopper mice also.

Yeah- i wish i could post some pics of them but i dont have a digital camera !!! I am beginning to think that my sisters is pregnant. b/c like she is really fat- but i bet she got preg. at the petstore. she is a lot bigger than mine. not like fatter, but bigger in size- mine is still pretty small. But like she is big like just above her butt(her stomach) and like it is really big like her underside too?? is there a certain way 2 tell if they are preg- cause i dont know? thanks

Dolf, perhaps the inmates consider them their pets?

Would love to see pics of your new mice, zebra!

I don't need pet mice. I work at Sheriff Joe's Tents Jail. There are mice everywhere because the inmates don't have enough sense to not feed them.

They're a lot easier to care for if they're frozen.
No cleaning enclosures, no feeding etc.
Plus they don't make noise all night, they don't bite, they don't crap on you when you hold them and they don't run away.

Frozen mice make great pets.

Today.. me and my sister got mice!!! I got a beige/white one and my sister's is black. They are sssooo cute!!! They are really small too. At the pet shop they were called hopper mice. Mine's name is Zoe, and my sister's is chloe!!! The only sad thing about it, is that i had to take down the aquarium to use it for the cage.. but thats alright. I still have my 10g. tank. but the new mice are sssooo cute!!! Anyone else have these hopper mice??

I was cleaning out their cage yesterday and i was looking at my mouse and now i can a sack haning below his tail !!!! and my sisters mouse doesnt have on so i think i have a male/female. OH NO!!!! and shes fat too, i think shes pregnant!!! this is not good. I think I am going to have to get rid of my hamsters and use their cage for the mice b/c the parents say no more cages in my room. I am going to be very sad when i have to get rid of my hammys !!!!!
