I've had my little guy for almost a week now and I am wanting to get him used to me. I've tried treats, but he's not impressed and I've tried holding my hand out to him. He just looks at me and runs on his wheel. My Little Bear was never handled because I was afraid that she'd have a heart attack when I first got her (it happened with one of my mice) and then after a while I was just too busy. Any ideas?

I say you should try handling him,or he won't get used to you handling him!
As for having a mouse that had a heart attack,when you held it for the first time...really?You sure it was because you handled it for the first time?I have never heard of that before!:confused: I have bred/raised mice for years now(since 1998...but I no longer breed) and nothin like that has ever happened before!
