DESCRIPTION
House mice live everywhere that people live. They
chew and shred anything including furniture and wires.
A mother mouse may have as many as 16 babies at a
time. In two months they are all grown up and able to have babies of their own! This is
why there are so very many house mice!
House mice live in groups and take turns cleaning
each other.
The white mice that are often used in laboratories
are a special breed of house mice.
