How do you train a mouse to walk a tightrope?

The best ways to train them to do simple tricks is to reward them with a treat every time they do something right.

Start out with them taking food from your fingers. Once they are comfortable with you go onto another trick such as retrieving food from your pocket. With lots of patience, you can teach them even more things, like climbing ladders, walking a tight rope, traveling through mazes. Some tricks that I tought my mouse to do are:eat peanut butter off my nose! its not that hard to do... Another thing to teach your mouse is to sit on your shoulder without moveing around. To do that place him/her up there and feed him/her treats along the way!

Be inventive and have fun with them.
