If you were here in the States I would take them. They make the best pets.

You could, as an alternative, train your dog. We used to keep both mice and rats and our dogs and cats soon learned that they were pets and were not to be bothered.

The mice would often escape and the cats would just look at them and not even try to chase them. Although they would catch wild ones and bring what was left of them back into the house.

You only need one word to train your dog and that is "NO".
