Oldest mouse you ever heard of?
by MouseLover Sun 27 Jan 2019, 10:51 am
What's the oldest you've ever heard of a mouse living? Personally, the oldest any of my mice have lived was a bit over 2 years and 7 months. The oldest mouse age to be confirmed scientifically was about 4 years 11 months.
I'm sure we've probably had this discussion before, but it's on my mind because I've just heard someone claim to have a 6 year old mouse, and another that lived til 7. SEVEN YEARS OLD?!! Is that even possible for an animal that typically lives 1.5 - 2 years? I mean... in human years wouldn't that be like well over 200?

Six and seven year old mice seems unbelievable. 
Three plus some months is the oldest I can recall hearing of... even over 4 sounds crazy when we’re used to celebrating anything over 2!!
My oldest was Yoshi, the mouse in my profile pic. He was turning three in November and passed in October. I had let him move in with a couple of my young ladies in April because he was starting to scratch again, and since they never got pregnant he just stayed with them until the end.
Second oldest was Frog. He was born here in January 2015 and passed November 2017. On his wheel! He didn’t even act old.

I seen others on a Facebook group claim to have mice live 3, 4, 5, and even one claim of 6 years old. I posted about it here.
My oldest living mouse was Rina. Born Nov 20, 2015 - died Jan 28, 2018 (26 months old). Second oldest was Cheeseburger who made it to at least 21 months (unsure on her exact bday). Honestly here we were having extra celebrations for anyone who made it past a year and a half.

I had one make it to 2 years 7 months, so 3 doesn't seem a stretch to me. But I'm feeling highly sceptical of anyone who claims to have had a mouse older than 4... it just seems insane to me when some mice start looking old by 1 and a half lol.

My oldest mouse (named Cinder) made it to 2 years old on the dot.
Born April 2016 - Died April 13th, 2018 (One day before I started separating my baby mice.)
Though that being said, My current oldest mouse is Ruffles who turned 1 year on the 2nd of this month. Though for a mouse that's average.
