#1 Mice

Mice do not need a large cage or a lot of space. Their size requirements are one of the many factors that make them ideal pets for small spaces. 

Additionally, they take excellent care of themselves and are quiet and meticulous self-groomers. In addition to being lively and intelligent, they are entertaining to watch. Although they are wary, if handled frequently and fed by hand, they can be trained.

If you live in a tiny apartment, it is advisable to have a group of female mice because male mice are likely to have a stronger odor that may not be suitable for small living areas.

One of the best things about mice as exotic pets is that they can live in small groups without needing a large cage, which makes them ideal for living in an apartment. Because they are skilled getaway artists and can enter your apartment, mice don’t need to spend any more time outside the cage.
