Cute Mouse

Today is 'Fancy Rat & Mouse Day'. Happy Fancy Rat & Mouse Day!


What Is Fancy Rat & Mouse Day?


Fancy Rat & Mouse Day is a day to celebrate cute rats and mice.


The day is specifically dedicated to rats and mice who are pets. There is one rat species and one mouse species of pet, that this day is specifically dedicated to - the Fancy Rat (which is the domesticated brown rat), and, the Fancy Mouse (which is the domesticated house mouse); both of these animals are adorable pets.





The Fancy Mouse are social animals, which makes these adorable animals perfect pets. They are also said to be tame animals.


Rats are also social animals; which also makes these cute animals amazing pets. Rats are also known to be intelligent; the Fancy Rat is thought to be more intelligent than other domesticated rats.


The Fancy Rat is the most popular rat species as pets.

The Fancy Mouse is smaller than the Fancy Rat.


These mice are so adorable and are pocket-sized; they are perhaps the smallest animal to be a pet, which gives these mice the cute name of 'pocket pet'.



Cute Fancy Mouse

If getting a mouse, or hamster ( or another small pet, like a gerbil), it's best not to have a rat too, as rats kill animals like mice. So, to keep your mouse (or other small pet) safe and protected, it's best not to have a mouse if you have a rat.


Therefore, it's best to have either one or the other as a pet.


But as pets, both of these animals are cute, loving, social, and clever!


Which are great reasons to celebrate Fancy Rats and Fancy Mice on this Fancy Rat & Fancy Mouse Day. This day has its roots in the American Fancy Rat and Mouse Association, which was formed in 1983.
