What is the difference between mice and rats? Rat vs Mouse 

I think most people tend to think of mice 🐁 as being cute, whereas people are more frightened of rats 🐀 just because of the stories about them being associated with bubonic plague. However, I have had both mice 🐁 and rats 🐀 as pets, and I found that they can both be very affectionate . Rats especially can be quite intelligent.

Deer mice are not just cute they are also one of the most beautiful of mice :)

Love your videos 😌 keep up the good work !

Best thing is you have proofs for your sayings

Is it possible to differentiate between baby rat and mouse?

Hopefully you can help me. I live in a old brick apartment building. 3 stories and a basement. I'm on the first floor right above the basement. Something has invaded my apartment for 10 months now. I can hear them in my walls with their tiny nails walking on the pipes. They squeak day and night all over my apartment in different frequencies. Sometimes the squeaking gives me a bad headache. Urine everywhere in my kitchen. I bought online a uv led light that exterminators use to detect rodent urine. One is living in the back of my refrigerator and can get access to my freezer and refrigerator. It goes after my eggs and meat in my freezer. I can't keep anything in my refrigerator or freezer. Yes, there are gnaw marks above my baseboards and now they are gnawing on my wood bed frame. They are ruining my carpet. All the carpet along the baseboard they have lifted up. Looks like they are burrowing under the carpet and living in the baseboards. Do Norway rats do that? Since my carpet is plush, they are tearing the carpet up to use as nesting material. They have destroyed my cardboard boxes by chewing them up and you can even see teeth marks. Nothing is safe in my apartment. I have never seen one dropping and because of that no one believes me. I have tried every trap and bait you can think of. They refuse to go near it. They are very smart! I know this will seem odd, but the one living behind my refrigerator acts like it wants to come out but is still hesitant. I get up in the morning and it let's me know it's up too. It acts like it wants to join me for coffee. My observation, from them living in my apartment for 10 months now, is that they can become social with you if they know you mean no harm. They have even gotten use to my dog. It's just me and my dog. Buddy barking at a leaf blowing across the yard doesn't bother them at all. What I can't understand is why haven't I seen one dropping?

Mice are not herbivores, they eat crickets all the time. They seem to be omnivores.

Nice video! 💕🐀💕🐁💕 I agree that the deer mouse is cute, haha! 😊

I thought the big difference was that mice are not latrine animals, as opposed to rats, who go in specific places.

Have you.

im getting new pet mice! :3 possibly 3 females

It's a rat if it's outside and a mouse if it's inside 👍

They also eat mealworms if they can find them. Misinformation.

I now have mice in my kitchen... lower level of my town home. I can't even sleep.The slightest noise and I jump. I'm up watching this and have to work tomorrow. I'm having paralyzing nightmares about them and terrified my cat will catch one, which, to me is absolutely unacceptable!! OMG... They have got to go!!!! I'm getting traps and the super course steel wool ASAP!! I was told to get the old fashioned spring traps but the thought of them dying from that is horrendous to me!!! I watched my mother kill mice living in a wood pile we were moving some years ago and I have never seen anything like it. She was a raging maniac and not one escaped! She kept screaming, "They'll get in the house!!!" How do I clean my home after I get them out is another GREAT CONCERN for me????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Excellent video! One thing, though: Humans are herbivores too. We CAN digest meat, but we're more adapted to eating plants and mushrooms. :)

Thumbs down! Do not watch this. The simplest way to explain the difference between two things is to show them side by side with actual labels which one is which. I fast forwarded through this whole video, and it doesn't even do that for absolutely no reason.

I feel pity for this poor man
