Yes, if there is no need to collect tissues or anything

I’m guessing those infected or mutated in ways harmful aren’t allowed?

Usually, if the mouse is infected or mutated in a given manner, its innards would need to be removed and studied, to determine what effects the mutation/infection had on them. This kills the mouse.

I mean, in my opinion skinny pigs have been mutated in a harmful way, just not as a result of whatever tests they were subjected to. But if you have a pet scrotum, you can knit it little sweaters so it isn’t constantly shivering

Im in the EU, and quite a few of the biology students had labrats as pets.

Oh shit forreal? I used to work in the NL and there it wasn’t allowed. You couldn’t even had rodents as pets because the possible dangers of contamination. I thought it was an EU thing actually, but maybe it’s just NL
