You really need need need at least two girls, three is preferable in case one dies, the other will have back-up.
A great affordable set up is a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid. It can easily house 3 girls comfortably, and 3 girls isn't really much different than 1 or 2 as far as food consumption and stink goes, you won't even notice it. So yeah, screen lids like 12 bucks? Ten gallon's like 9 or so. Then you buy a wheel, usually around 3-4 and a water bottle for like 2-3 and you're good to go!
Btw, as far as wheels go, there are a lot of really bad wheels on the market, and even the "good" ones have their risks. I'd reccomend a mesh wheel, Petco and Petsmart each carry their own brand, I think. Never ever get one with bars / rungs for them to run on since they can easily break their legs or worse on those. I don't really like the solid wheels, like Comfort Wheels, as they get really nasty really quick. Petsmart now sales "saucer wheels" which are by far the safest and I'm stoked about potentially getting one really soon!
I really am going to try my best to dissuade you from getting a "cage." They just really don't make mouse safe cages in the US, I known a few users in Europe with appropriate cages, but as far the states go it's just really unheard of. Tanks are also easy to hide, just get a cardboard box and set the 10 gallon in it and put it on a high shelf or something if need be.
Ugh, I'm typing too much and going to have to split my post! >_>
Where do you live? I could maybe recommend a breeder since they're infinitely better than pet shop mice.
