Actually, mice make fairly good pets. I prefer rats, though. If you think I'm joking, I'm not, Google it, rats make great pets.

your a bad parent. uhm. who let's their child have mice? who let's their daughter have 6 mice! WTF. get a life!

Why shouldn't she have pet mice? They aren't doing any harm; they're small and cute, take up little room and are easy to take care of. If anything, her parents are doing her some good by allowing her to keep a pet in the first place. They're giving her a chance to learn the responsibilities of taking care of a pet. She doesn't have to worry about walking a dog or changing a litter-box for a house-cat. Mice are easy to take care of, cleaning the cage once a week and feeding them everyday. If you actually handle the mice, they become very well socialized and calm enough to be held by anyone (even little kids). However, I do have to agree with TheDarkCynder about rats making better pets. I've always had critters as pets, but rats will always be my favorite. I've owned rats for awhile now and my previous roommate's seven year-old loved them. After a couple months of persuasion, I managed to convince his father to let him get one for his birthday earlier this year. He never showed much interest in taking care of our cats but he made certain Sweet M&M had food and water in the morning and before he went to bed, reminded us when it was time to clean the cage and would try to do it by himself while supervised, and would spend at least two hours a day playing with him so that people could handle him without the chances of getting bit. He even managed to socialize Sweet M&M with our cat Mudslide to the point that Mudslide would chill in the cage with him, and even eat with him. When they moved out and in with someone else, I was left with Sweet M&M because the person they moved in with was petrified of rats. Stupid thing to be afraid of, in my opinion, but whatever. I know a lot of people don't like rats and mice, but they make excellent pets. A lot of people get hamsters for their children as a first pet, or a fish, but hamsters are more prone to bite the child than a rat or mouse. Hamsters are cute, but I'll stick to my mice and rats. Anyway, my old roommate's seven year-old son was fully capable of taking care of a rat, and would take care of my animals whenever I was at work or out of town, so I'm pretty sure that this girl was able to take care of her six mice (especially with her parent's help). So please, stop telling them that they're terrible parents or stupid for letting her have mice. If anything, she's helping her daughter learn about the responsibilities of owning a pet, and is helping to show that mice are not "scary" and make wonderful pets (if you work with rats and mice long enough on a personal level, you can teach them tricks and they'll come when you call their names). On another note, good luck finding the mice wandering your house! I'd trying catching them without having to hurt or kill them so that they can get put back in their cage. Hopefully you're daughter will learn that she can't release them like that. Best of luck to you!

I clicked both...FYL because that really does suck...but YDI for letting your child have 6 pet mice in the first place!
