If you want to create a comfortable and fun living space for your mice, you will need to pick up some mice accessories. Feeding bowls, water bottles, homes, exercise toys, anything to make their living space more fun for them. Obviously you need something to put their food and water in. In addition I would suggest at least one house to sleep in, one exercise wheel for play and a couple of obstacles.

Classic Deluxe Mouse Water Bottle 75ml
Mice need fresh water, and like all pets in captivity they need you to provide it. This is an example of one of the smallest and least expensive water bottles available. Make sure you have somewhere and somehow to attach it to the inside of their home.
Living World Exercise Ball, Small, 12 cm
An exercise ball is a fun way to help your mouse get exercise. You can keep your mouse safe and out of trouble while cleaning out their living space, or just put them in and watch them run around.
Make sure it is securely closed, don’t want a mouse escaping!
Natural Wooden Luka House for Mice
This wooden one from Luka will be more durable than most and survive being gnawed on for a long time.
Make your own Free Mice Accessories
You don’t always need to spend money to make mice accessories that they can enjoy. Be sure to always make sure whatever you put in with them is not toxic in any way. Some popular items that will provide them with hours of entertainment:
- Toilet Roll Tubes – fun for running through, hiding and chewing.
- Kitchen Roll – tear it into strips, put in and watch them carry it around and make bedding.
- Small Cardboard Boxes – watch the mice make homes, beds and chew on them.
Any more suggestions or ideas please leave a comment and I will add onto the list, thanks.
I have a very very large Habitrail set up for my pet mice which I have accumulated over the past 3 years. I find that the habitrail has a lot of various add ons and it is really makes an impresssive home for the mice and they do seem to enjoy it a lot.
HI Michelle. Couldn’t agree more. Building up a larger home with tubes and other add ons can make for a fun and interactive home for mice. Good work.
Help! I have 2 mice that i purchased at a pet store , that i assumed were siblings. Both young males. They have been quite active & happy for the past 6 months- some brotherly rough housing, but all in good fun. They typically sleep together in the same box. They live in a 20 long aquarium, with boxes,plastic houses, shelves , ladders, 2 food bowls, 2 exercise wheels, 1 water bottle. Their “apartment” gets totally cleaned weekly &replaced with new stuff to prevent boredom. Last week, i heard SQUEAKS & discovered that they were fighting. It was brief, so i did nothing. It happened several more times on different days, these brief also. Today was different. The fight was serious, with the one that WAS more dominate getting a bite on his tail & scratch on his face -BLEEDING! i grabbed the 1st one i could get, the wounded one (who WAS more dominate) & have him in a small travel cage.( Apparently i did that wrong, as i read online) How long until i put them back together? SHOULD i put them together?! i plan on cleaning the “apartment” & adding an herbal pet calming drop to their water…… HELP!
