In horses, the lower critical temperature is 5 °C while the upper critical temperature depends on the definition used. [11] Their thermoneutral zone is roughly 5–30 °C (41–86 °F). [12] In mice, the lower critical temperature and upper critical temperature can be the same, creating a thermoneutral point instead of a thermoneutral zone.
The hind feet are short compared to Apodemus mice, only 15–19 mm (9 ⁄ 16 – 3 ⁄ 4 in) long; the normal gait is a run with a stride of about 4.5 cm (1 + 3 ⁄ 4 in), though they can jump vertically up to 45 cm (18 in). [6]
Female mice should not be bred before 12 weeks or after eight months; doing so can be very dangerous, [12] and some mice can die while giving birth. Females come into heat around every three to five days, so the pair can be kept together for up to 10 days. Baby mice, called pinkies or pups, are born blind, deaf, and naked. [13]
In various countries mice are used as feed [14] for pets such as snakes, lizards, frogs, tarantulas, and birds of prey, and many pet stores carry mice for this purpose. Such mice are sold in various sizes and with various amounts of fur. Mice without fur are easier for the animal to consume; however, mice with fur may be more convincing as ...
A digital thermometer reading an ambient temperature of 36.4°C (97°F) in an unventilated room during a heat wave; a high indoor temperature can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke in a person. The World Health Organization in 1987 found that comfortable indoor temperatures of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) were not associated with health risks ...

The ideal room temperature for sleep generally falls within the range of 60 to 69 °F, says Dr. Dasgupta. “This temperature range helps your body cool down effectively, supports your body ...
The northern grasshopper mouse is an altricial species; baby mice are naked with closed eyes when they are born, and weigh about three grams. Both sexes reach their sexual maturity at three months, but the lifespan of a typical mouse living in the wild is only a few weeks to a few months.
