Bonded white mice  Feivel and Tony need a new home to eat cheese, and are the latest adoptees with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
“Mice are very smart and, like dogs, cats or so many other animals, can be trained to do tricks and learn skills,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “Some people may think mice are dirty animals, but in fact, they are quite clean and you can often see them grooming themselves or each other.”
If you are looking for more information about how to care for mice, contact the AWLA at [email protected] OR you can schedule an appointment to meet them at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-
