    No, mice clean themselves (especially if you have two, which you should, because they groom and clean each other).

    No, that would most likely not be a great idea. If hamsters can't be bathed, then most likely mice can't. Rats can though. Try some more research, before you attempt to bathe your mouse. [; hope i helped!

    No in the wild mice dont bathe and in captivity its no different. They may catch cold or drown which can be both fatal to the mouse. Their fur takes care of itself.

    Nopers. Mice really cant swim...big risk of drowning. And if they didn't drown, the Temperature shock would be huge, even if you use luke warm water it can shock a little mousy system into hypothermia.

    Mice have coats that take care of themselves. Mice groom themselves all the time and that's how they like it!

    If it is a cartoon mouse like Jerry from Tom & Jerry, then I would say you can. I can draw you some bubbles.

    No, it is unnecessary. They don't smell or get dirty really. Their fur tends to care for itself.

    NO not a good idea as they are self sufficient.
