The Potential Life Span of a Mouse is: 4 years. Although most healthy mice live between 2 /12 to 3 years. There are many things that influence health and all should be considered when raising pet mice.

A mouse ca live 1 a half to 2 to 3 years old. Personally I think rats are better pets and they live the same amount!

1.) Lifespan - 1 1/2 - 2 years
2.) The life span of pet mice can vary greatly, depending on a number of variables. Breeding, random genetics, nutrition, stress level, and other factors all play a part in determining how long your mouse will live, and how healthy he will be over the course of his life. Cancers are common in older mice (this falls under random genetics, as even the best breeder cannot predict which mouse will inherit certain genes predisposing it to cancer, those genes do not guarantee that the mouse will actually develop cancer, and the parent mice have long since become grandparents and great-grandparents before their cancers are evident.) To further complicate matters, not all cancers are hereditary, but are the result of random mutation in the individual animal. Respiratory illnesses also claim the lives of many older mice; these mice may have been resistant to such illness when younger. Lastly, mice will eventually succumb to the deterioration of “old age,” regardless of how healthy they have been. Keeping your mice in a low-stress, healthy (clean) environment will help her continue to thrive into old age. Baring accident or acute illness, you can generally expect your pet mouse to live from eighteen to thirty months.

Usually only around a year, some maybe 2 years, some only a few months. But they don't live very long at all.

they only stay approximately 2 years. The albino feeder mice which you spot in puppy shops in many situations do no longer stay as long as fancy mice. they are bred as food no longer pets, so that they could be greater services to tumors and different ailments.
