TO HANDLE YOUR MOUSE YOU MUST FIRST SET IT IN THE PALM OF YR HAND(YOU MAY START WITH A GLOVE ON, I DID!!)IF YOU HAVE GLOVES ON TAKE ONE OFF(TAKE THE ONE OFF THAT IS FREE) GET THE MOUSE USED TO YR HANDS AROUND ITS BODY.SOON IF U HAVE,GLOVES ON,TAKE THE OTHER GLOVE OFF. YOU CAN LET HIM OR HER RAOM AROUND YOUR ARM TOO.WARNING :the mouse has a 99.9% chance of falling and also will or may pee on u!!

My hamster fell out of my hands and almost died. Thank goodness she didn't!

I've breed mice for over a year and think that your statement that a mouse has a 99.9% chance of falling is a bit of an exaggeration. Of all the time I've handeled mice, I have NEVER had one fall. I've had some jumpers, but none died at all. Mice are very clingy and have very good grips so they are alot less likely to fall that a hamster or guinea pig. If your going to post advice here, please make sure your statistics and facts are accurate .

SPEAKING OF IRRISPONCIBLE!!!!
WHY DID YOU DROP YOUR HAMSTER??????

YOUR POOR HAMSTER!!!!

Laura is not irresponsible. She said it "fell out of her hands". Big difference between falling and dropping . She could have had a hamster like mine that liked to take flying leaps like it was some kind of sugar glider or something .

I didn't meen to be rude.

I know this sounds bad but, the "high flying hamster" thing is so funny!!!!

My ferret did the same thing today! He was on one of my pillows on the floor and he decided that he was high enough to jump on the dresser. Just then he leaped as high as his little legs could leap and he hit his face right smack dab in the middle of the dresser. I know this sound crule but I just fell on the floor laughing, I could barely breath!!!!It was sooo funny!!!!!

Animals can do some pretty weird things.

The hamster I mentioned was a dwarf hamster. His name was Crunchey, but he got his nickname Bonzai when he took to the hobby of leaping of the table. When he jumped, he spread out his legs just like a flying squirrle.

That comment was kinda meant to be sarcastic, but now that you mention it, it IS funny. lol

Actually she kind of jumped..crazy suicidal hammie..

-i used to have a hampster... its name was Zipity. he died.
-then i got another one... its name was Zipity 2. it died
-then i got another one... its name was Zipity 3. it died too.
i havent had very good luck with hampsters.

about the 99.9% chance of falling............I MEANT JUMPING!oops!!he he

Sorry, but even then your statement is inaccurate.

Lets just say that some mice, especially youngsters, may jump if they are not used to handeling.
