Neutering a male mouse

[ForgetfulBreeze]

Wondering if anyone has experience with this!

I might be getting the cutest baby mouse from a breeder and neutering him to live with my girls!

He has markings on his back that look like "angel wings". I'll have to attach a picture.

Most vets are over $500-$600, which is absolutely insane, however, the Banfield pet hospital near me is willing to do it for $210! That's literally free (we'll still a lot of money, but still). Lemme just say it, I love Banfield hospital, cranberry township. They are super experienced and high quality for a low price.

Anyways, has anyone neutered a mouse? Or hamster, for that matter. Thanks

EDIT: No longer getting this boy changed plans and ideas, and decides I really would like rats instead, and to eventually get some!

I've heard it's a very simple procedure for a male mouse. but good luck on the rats!

Yeah, neutering small rodents like mice or hamsters does happen, but it’s definitely not routine compared to cats or dogs. With a mouse, the main concerns are anesthesia risk and finding a vet who actually has experience with such tiny patients. The $500–$600 quotes are common because it’s very delicate work, but $210 at a place like Banfield Pet Hospital in Cranberry Township actually isn’t unusual for a corporate clinic with set pricing.

If it’s done by an experienced exotic vet, recovery is usually quick, but post-op stress is the bigger risk than the surgery itself. That said, most people only neuter mice for specific group housing situations, since males can often live alone fine. If you’ve shifted toward getting rats instead, that’s honestly a more straightforward route for social housing and long-term care.
