Type of Mice that are Marketed:
(a) Fancy mice>>>
- mice that are bred as pets and for show.
- USA>> purchase your mice from a member of AFRMA (american fancy rat and mouse association) or the RMCA (rat and mouse club of china).
- UK, purchase them from a member of the NMC (national mouse club).
- some of the fancy mice strains are very large. - feeder-type mice mature at about 30 grams. but fancy mice can weigh three times that.
(b) Laboratory Mice>>>
-laboratory mice
- many strains of mice, normally used for scientific research, make wonderful pets such as Balbc mouse and the C57Black6.
- many strains of mice, normally used for scientific research, make wonderful pets such as Balbc mouse and the C57Black6.
- individual mice of laboratory strains are only available to people with connections to scientific institutions.
- most owe their origins to the colonies maintained at Jackson Memorial Laboratories they supply some really weird strains (transgenic mice) – like the C57b6 that glows in the dark and contains both human and jellyfish dna. the best thing about mice from these laboratory colonies is that they are free of all the diseases common in pet store mice.

(c) Feeder Mice>>>
- the most readily available mice are the feeder mice sold at pet shops.
- these are randomly bred mice of no particular strain.
- they are inexpensive, but because no one really cares how long they live, they tend to be raised by suppliers in dirty, crowded conditions with inadequate nutrition. still, given some love, it is amazing how nice they can become.
