Terribly Socialized Mice.

Question
A few days ago i bought 2 female mice from petco. I dont believe they are feeder mice but I am not sure (alhough they are white with a pink tail and red eyes, albino. Petco did not have any other mice.). Part of me is led to believe they are not pet mice considering they are not socialized a little bit. Either these are feeder mice or Petco does a TERRIBLE job at raising mice and socializing them. What should I do? Are these Pet mice? Return these and look elsewhere?

Answer
Dear Jason,

Often the only difference between feeder mice and pet mice is who buys them.  The Petco near me sells one mouse gently and carefully to a little girl then scoops ten of them up unceremoniously and carelessly to give to someone for their snake.  However, in other cases, feeders are specifically bred for that and probably have less quality control and less careful breeding.

If your new mice aren't friendly, I'd suggest bringing them back and getting mice somewhere else.  

Best of luck!
