I have had hamsters, and enjoyed them tremendously; but I have never had an actual pet mouse.
One time, when I was about 11-12, we had a mouse get into the house and it climbed into the wastebasket and then couldn't get back out. I carried the wastebasket into the bathroom, and put it down on the side in the tub, and out ran the mouse.
Next, I removed the basket so the moue couldn't get back in it again, and then set about catching the mouse. I think I trapped it in something, but I might have jut managed to catch it by the tail. That was many, many years ago now, and I don't really remember.
I put the mouse in a little bird cage that we had, and put in food and water. He never really got tame, and one day when I was feeding him, he managed to escape out of the cage, and we never saw him again.
After that, I just had hamsters, and they were a lot easier to tame, and made great pets. I imagine that a domestic mouse would be a lot better pet than my little wild one was, but I just never wanted another mouse.
