In captivity, mice can easily live five to ten times longer than in the wild. This is due to the fact that in nature a huge number of various predators prey on mice. For the same reasons, mice reach sexual maturity early - already at the age of two or three months they can acquire their own offspring, and mice often give birth, up to six times a year. Contrary to popular myth, elephants are not at all afraid of mice. The most famous mouse is perhaps Mickey Mouse, first born in 1928. There are many types of mice. The smallest of them are baby mice. A newborn mouse of this species weighs less than one gram. Mice love sugar and sweet fruits even more than cheese.
