Lifespan
Mice live for around 12-18 months.
Eyesight
Mice have very poor eyesight. Their incredible sense of hearing and smell makes up for this.
Whiskers
Mice use their long whiskers to help them feel the space around them.
Tail
A mouse’s tail can grow to the same length as their body, if not longer!
Teeth
Mice have teeth that grow at a rate of 0.3mm per day. They grind their teeth down by nibbling on all sorts of things!
Mice are excellent runners, jumpers and climbers because of their clawed feet. A mouse is so good at climbing that it can even run up a vertical surface.
Mice don’t actually like cheese. They can become very unwell when eating dairy and prefer natural foods such as grains or fruit.
