Tiny caged companion
A pet mouse is a domesticated mouse kept as a companion animal, typically housed in a cage with bedding, food, and exercise equipment like wheels.
Pet mice are small, relatively low-maintenance, and often appeal to children or those with limited space: She got her daughter a pet mouse for her birthday.
They're bred in various colors and patterns, distinct from wild house mice.
