I don't have them but want a pair. I just can't find them anywhere . They are supposed to be skittish but I don't know how true that is.

They are very cool, though! Are you thinking of getting some?

from what I remember, zebra mice are rather solitary. They can get along with domestic mice if raised together, but two zebras together usually ends in bloodshed.
