You should not be keeping wild mice as pets. They carry more disease than you could imagine. The big one being hantavirus which is deadly to humans, this is mainly from Deer mice, they're the brown ones with the really big ears. The danger is from their urine, and dust rising from the dried remnants of their urine, if you find dried mouse urine in your home, you should wash with bleach, while wearing gloves, and a mask. I am not kidding, do a search if you don't believe me. If you must catch this critter, peanut butter is the bait of choice for mice.
