Question:

If mice can chew through plastic why do so many ppl who breed them use plastic tubs im confused?

i wanna breed them i have a female in a 15 qt tub and im worried she will chew through it after seeing some question on here about that being answered that they will chew through it but when i look on youtube i see people breeding them in plastic tubes and stuff so whats the deal i figured if they do why would these breeders use them can somebody plz hlp or have any suggestions

Answer:

Mice generally won't chew through plastic unless they have nothing else to chew. Just provide a (safe) piece of wood, or something similar, and they'll be fine! Please don't breed them unless you: -know that the mouse is the correct age -know that the mouse doesn't have any health issues -have GOOD homes for the 20+ babies, ie. only sell them IF the buyers are good with pets and they know how to look after mice -are prepared for the high possibility that the mum will die, and that some (or possibly all) of the babies will die too -know exactly how to breed them (do LOADS of research first).
idk, probally since they're tamed so it doesn't matter
