Tips for Naming Your Mouse
Whether you have a male mouse (buck), female mouse (doe), or have a really young mouse (pinky), picking a name can be a great way to bond with your new pet. If you aren't sure where to start:
- Spend some time with your new pet mouse and get to know their personality -- this can help you narrow down some fitting name choices.
- Decide if you want your pet's name to be inspired by their appearance, favorite treat, or personality; or if you want your pet to have a famous or silly name.
- Create your own mouse name generator by selecting a few names or adjectives you are drawn to and coming up with a few fun name combinations to choose from.
- If you select a name that just doesn't feel right after you've gotten to know your pet a bit more, feel free to switch it to something more fitting.
