Pet mouse cage

[sniffysnifferson]

We are thinking of getting a pair of pet mice for our dc.
Is this cage really suitable? I know it's sold as being suitable, but then i know manufacturers state that on things that provide the absolute bare minimum for the animal.

How big is it, you can get inches^2 guidance (per animal) online. Mice don't need very much, at least.
I think I prefer wire top cages for being better ventilated, but can't quite remember what DD's mice had, right now.

Its 55 x 29 x 26.5 cm

It has metal bars at top of cage and the rest is plastic.

Our mice (when I was a teenager) had a massive cage (My DDad made it from a cupboard) three 'rooms' with two floors. Mesh inserted into the front door ( original panels removed ) and ladders put into spaces cut in the floors.
Two wheels .
They used all the space , scorned the ladders and ran up the mesh.

They escaped from their old house (rectangular wire top/plastic base) no idea how , the bars were narrow enough and the door clipped shut.

My Number 1 Mouse Tip - get females. Male mice STINK
