Mice are one of interesting creatures we have on earth. While they are known to spread diseases, there are interesting facts about this animal.
There is no denying that some people keep mice as pets. I think as long as you ensure they are clean and hygienic, the chances of them spreading diseases is minimal. In case you didn’t know, mice can carry more than 200 human pathogens and are known to spread diseases such as Hantavirus and Salmonella.
Mice are a delicacy in northern Malawi and eastern Zambia both located in Africa. So, they can be cooked and eaten without any problem.
Well, let’s learn some interesting facts about these types of rodents.

14 Out of 16 right is not too bad, interesting quiz
That’s great, Pamela. Only two remaining, you did rock in this quiz.
I got one wrong, I thought they preferred hot weather. I was wrong.
Wow, that’s great Dawn. Congratulations.
Two mistakes, what a fun and informative quiz! I personally find them cute.
Thank you and you did a fantastic job of answering the questions. Good to know you find them cute. They are but I wouldn’t keep them as a pet.
12 out 16 and it says great!!
Thank you, Grace. That’s a great score. Thanks for taking the quiz.
You got 11 out of 16 right!
Great
It’s a good score. You passed half the total score. Thanks for dropping by to play the quiz.
I got two of them incorrect. Number four and number eight. Very good quiz. Loved it.
Congratulations Kim. It’s a fantastic score with only 2 to go to get total marks. Thanks for dropping by to play the quiz.
13/16 Very interesting and informative quiz!
Oh, I meant to add that I never ate mice, but I’ve eaten field rats in Mali. Quite a delicious sweet-tasting meat!
That’s a great score, Norman. Thanks for taking the quiz.
That’s interesting. I have never eaten it though I have heard it tastes good. Thanks for confirming that though I’m not sure if I can taste rat’s meat considering how I react towards them when I notice them in my room – chase and kill them.
I reckon it’s a different kind of rat. Well,I tell myself that so I don’t freak out too much!!
Hahaha…I understand how you feel by convincing yourself it wasn’t the rat. For instance, in my country donkeys are slaughtered including cats and sold as beef. I might have eaten any animal’s meat sold as beef. I convince myself it’s beef though there overwhelming evidence we may be eating other animal’s meat and not beef.
However, it’s better not to be told what I have eaten.
Or just embrace it! I have eaten sausages openly made of donkey meat, and burgers of horse meat, and steaks of crocodile 🙂 That last was a bit weird, I admit!
Yah, I have to embrace and appreciate it.
