Would a shrew be a good pet?

Okay… for some reason there is a shrew running around my house… we got a live mice trap.. so we can set him free… but ummm.. why is there a shrew trying to get my my house??? It’s the winter… so it might be cold… and last night it ran up my dad’s pant leg… well anyways… do you think a shrew would be a good pet or should we set it free

Answer #1

I don’t think it would be a good pet. It’s probably pretty confused in your house at the moment, but I agree it probably likes the warmth. Some friends of mine cared for two baby mice they found in their mail box this summer, but they just fed them until they were old enough to set free - it’s actually illegal here in France to take wild animals as pets - I don’t know if that might be the case where you are.
