They build nests anywhere it is warm and dry, such as in hollow trees, old bird nests or on the ground underneath some sort of cover.  White-footed Mice feed mostly on seeds, nuts, fungi, and insects.

When alarmed, these mice drum their feet rapidly. They will also sometimes drum their front feet on a hollow reed to make a musical buzzing noise, though we don’t know why.

In comparison to House Mice, White-footed Mice have larger eyes and ears. They are considered by most people to be more “attractive” than House Mice.

White-footed Mice are good swimmers and excellent climbers. They often climb shrubs and trees looking for food. Their tails give them good balance.
