Mouse Carriers

For those times when you want or need to take your pet mouse out of the house, you may consider getting gear like mouse harnesses and leashes or mouse carrier bags or cages to aid the process. Chewy has several great mouse travel carriers and other supplies to help make getting out of the house as safe and easy as possible for your pet.

Walking your mouse on a leash in parks or busy areas can be dangerous, so consider limiting outings to safe backyard areas or secluded spaces and use extreme caution if you do this. You'll need to find a mouse harness that's small enough to fit your mouse snugly, and choose one with fuzzy fasteners instead of buckles to avoid pinches and injury. Make sure to secure it properly and attach it to a very light mouse leash, as heavier leashes can injure or stress mice. Be sure to keep a close eye on your mouse while walking, and don't walk too fast or pull the leash to keep from hurting your pet.

A great way to bring your mouse wherever he needs to go, whether to the vet or on an outing, is to use a small animal travel carrier. The best mouse carriers will have adequate ventilation, escape-proof design and sturdy construction. You can find several appropriately sized carriers on our site, and some have cool features like lids that pop open for easy access or a familiar cage-style design to make your mouse feel more at home.

Putting familiar items in the carrier like a favorite bed, mouse toys, mouse food and treats will make your mouse feel more comfortable on trips. Avoid putting mouse water bottles in carriers during transit, however, as they may leak. You can also try putting a little clean mouse bedding from your buddy's cage in the carrier to provide a familiar scent. Traveling with a portable mouse cage or cage-style carrier can provide added comfort on long outings, too. You can find all the mouse supplies you need for travel and other outings at Chewy.com.
