What do you call a group of mice?

What do you call a group of mice?
I usually say colony, though I've also seen nest, trip, family, horde, or mischief (though I think that one's really a group of rats?) used.

I call them a colony or a group. Or a trio if there's only three.

I also say colony or group, and sometimes specify pair/trio.

The cutest one I've heard of is a Giggle of Mice. I forget where I heard that...but I thought it was cute!

That is cute! I tried looking it up to see where it was used but ended up reading a bunch of articles on laughing rats. 
I get distracted easily.

I say meece often, instead of mice. I know there's a member here that says meople. I was just curious what the more common group name was. Ya know, like a murder of crows or a gaggle of geese. I don't think anyone says a meece of mice??

Google says that a group of mice is a colony!

I use colony! Though I think mischief is super cute too even if it's usually used for ratties

I generally would call them a colony but for my groups, I just call them a gang... Or mousketeers
