white mice

Pale pet rodents

White mice are mice with white fur, typically albino laboratory mice bred for scientific research.

The phrase often evokes images of sterile labs and experiments: The white mice were used to test the new vaccine.

White mice are also kept as pets and used as food for pet snakes and other reptiles.
