Mice tails can grow as long as their bodies.
Mice use their whiskers to sense changes in temperature and to help feel the surface they are walking along.
Mice build very complex burrows with long entrances and many escape routes. They are very clean and tidy rodents with their burrows often having separate areas for storing food, sleeping and going to the toilet.
A mouse eats 15 - 20 times a day. Therefore they usually build their homes close to food sources, tending to only travel up to 8 m from their burrows to find food.
Mice and rats are the most commonly used animals in laboratories for scientific experiments.
