What only exotic inhabitants you will meet in apartments of fans of animals today. And rodents (squirrels, hamsters, mice) - the old and well studied znakomets, still take the place in this list of pets which fairly grew in recent years. Nevertheless, the questions connected with their contents nevertheless arise. For example, how to tame a mouse.
Instruction
1. It is not difficult to tame a mouse or a rat at all, but they as however, and other animals demand to themselves kind, attentive and, owing to the small size, the careful relation.
2. Try to behave from the very beginning quietly and peaceful. Do not do sharp movements, do not make loud sounds, be not enough and you do not awake your pet. Mice seldom bite, but if it occurred, so the animal is strongly frightened
3. Do not try to pick up a mouse at once. It is a little to postoyta at a cage, then open a door and give a hand. Do not forget to put on a palm that-nibut tasty. Give to a small animal the chance to sniff at you and to take food from a palm. Carefully stroke a mouse a finger, let she will derive pleasure from touch of your hands. Make it daily, and the mouse will get used to your smell soon.
4. Carefully move hands if the animal was not frightened, try to pick up it.
5. Place a mouse on a palm a muzzle to yourself and cover from above with a palm of other hand, or take it two hands, having closed palms. Be very attentive (especially for the first time), do not press down and do not jam your pet. If the mouse did not manage to be caught at once, it is possible to take her for a tail. But it is impossible to abuse this way as the small animal, has at the same time unpleasant feelings which, of course, do not promote his fastest domestication. Besides, the mouse can slip out at you fingers, fall and be traumatized at the same time.
6. You got a mouse from a cage. Allow it to take a walk around you. Hold up hands, let her walk on them. If the mouse tries to slip away, do not hold her by force. Allow to jump off from a hand, and then return it back. When the mouse gets used so that it will become free to walk about from one hand on another, begin to move slowly fingers, to bend and unbend them. Do not forget to put a treat on a palm.
7. If the mouse did not get used to hands yet and constantly bites, put on gloves. When the animal gets used and will cease to be afraid, stings will not be any more and gloves will not become necessary.
