Any animal can be mean, regardless of the species. It's a matter of disposition and intimidation.
An animal who is exposed to displeasurable situations from a source will dislike whatever it is that is causing it displeasure. Each time this happens, it results in a negative shift in its disposition toward the source (and what it relates to the source). The opposite of this being favorable situations, resulting in contentedness and a positive shift in its disposition toward the source. The way the animal reacts is determined by its level of intimidation, if it isn't intimidated by the unpleasant source, it will likely try to force it to stop.
Due a mouse's small stature though, one in good mental health is highly unlikely react aggressively toward people.
In short: if your mouse is being mean to you, it's probably mentally ill.

Which bite harder mice or rats?
Rats generally have stronger biting force compared to mice. Their larger size and more robust jaw structure allow them to deliver a more powerful bite. However, both mice and rats can bite when they feel threatened or cornered.
Is mice a singular word?
"Mice" is the plural form of "mouse." So, say you buy one of them at the pet store. Your sentence would be, "I bought a mouse at the pet store today!" If you bought more than one, it would be, "I bought several mice at the pet store today."
Can pet mice attract wild mice?
Yes, if pet mice escape or are released into the wild, they can potentially attract wild mice due to their scent and presence. Wild mice may be drawn to the smell of food or shelter provided by the presence of pet mice. It's important to ensure pet mice are securely housed to prevent interactions with wild mice.
What word mean to bite and eat small pieces of something as mice do to cheese?
pebble
Do fancy mice have sharp claws and teeth?
ALL animals can, and even will, bite for many reasons. Fancy mice, house mice, wild mice, Asian mice, it doesn't matter... Mouse, dog, snake, elephant, giraffe, whale, porpoise, ALL ANIMALS BITE. THAT SAID: WEANLING MICE might bite, looking for a nipple, and if the piece of skin on your hand fits into their mouth, they will bite out of curiosity, to see if milk will flow, & ease their hunger. MOTHER MICE WILL give you a warning nip, (I've received many) if you get too close to their babies or another mouse's babies. This is because mice are very social creatures. They will adopt the babies of other mother mice, they will nurse another litter of mouse pups if the mom dies. You can even wet nurse mice to rats, who have a richer milk. Female mice have 10 nipples, & larger size litters as a result. So, all sorts of mice bite, for all sorts of reasons. Male & female mice bite each other when they fight. I've seen both male, & female, mice bite, & hang on (to the point of being dragged) grab hold of a male mouse's testicals, but I don't know why. There is at least 1 reading that shows male mice have no nipples, but I want to test that by doing more research before vouching completely for that because, as you know, nipples, except for marine mammals & Disney cartoon males.
