The parents of the Maileg mouse house, and they arrive already in bed. The box is a printed wooden style cigar box with Havana Cigars on the front, and inside it is a mattress, a floral blanket and a pillow wide enough for two. Mum Mouse is in a cream nightgown printed with coral dots, Dad Mouse is in blue and cream striped pajamas, and each of them has a padded eye mask that can be pushed up on the forehead or pulled down for the night.

Both parents are the grown-up size in Maileg's family sizing, 6.3 in tall, which is the same size the grandparents come in, so the clothes and the beds you already own for the grown-up mice fit these two. The bodies are cotton, the box is card, and the filling is recycled polyester with PE pellets. They are the pair a child adds when a shelf of Little brothers and Little sisters starts needing somebody in charge. Other items pictured are sold separately.

Sold by Maileg as Mum & Dad mice in cigarbox, item number 17-5313-00, made in China. The play age Maileg gives these two is 3 and over, which rules out a child under 3.

The little ones sleep in boxes of their own, among them the Little Brother Mouse in Matchbox, and the grandfather of the house has his own page: Granddad Mouse. Maileg sizes its mice by family role rather than by measurement, and says each one is handmade so heights vary a little, which makes the size name the thing that decides the fit.
