Growing up my first pets were a pair of "female" mice. It turns out they were both male so we had to get another tank XD We also had field mice living in our stove that I used to catch and keep as pets. I managed to tame one but she died shortly after because she was already 2 at the time. I even had a "mouse hospital." When my cat would drag in mice I'd take them from her and get them cleaned up, set up in a tank and nursed them back to health. If they recovered within a week I would let them go but usually she did some damage to the point where they couldn't go back out in the wild and lived out their days in a tank. I never had one actually try to escape the tank either so they must have liked it. Granted you shouldn't keep field mice as pets anyway but they are so cute XD
I had the tame one since she was at least a month old so she grew up around me and got used to me reaching in to feed her and scooping her to clean the cage so I guess after awhile she just decided I was a friend because one day she hopped into my hand and just sat there.
