How long should mice be released out for playtime away from their cage? Should it be once a day?

i only bring my mice out to play when they want to, i run one of those expandable tubes out of my mice's cage going down into their playpen and my mice go down if they want, and if they want to go back to the cage they always have the option to go back. some days they go, some days they don't. i don't really have a set amount of time that i keep my mice out as they do have the option as to how long they want to be out. this is just what i personally do, but i would only recommend letting your mice out for around half an hour each night when they are awake and active. Very Happy

I find least once a day for 15-30 minutes is ideal for ladies in a colony. If you have a lone mouse it's best to make sure he gets all the attention you can afford/he'll tolerate. For my boys this is usually 10-45 minute sessions multiple times a day. They spend a lot of time with me, though, not just in a playpen.

My mice like around 20 minutes of playtime each day. I have a large tub I put them to play and run around, as well as holding them individually.

I find sometimes they just don't want to be held that day, so I let them be. Other days they are crazy running up my arms begging to come out!
