Do pet mice have wild relatives?
Domesticated pet mice are all descended from the wild house mouse. This animal has lived alongside humans for more than 10,000 years, ever since people began to store grain and other foods. Mice have been kept as pets for several centuries, and a range of colour varieties has been bred.
