I realize the advice you're getting isn't being given very nicely, but everyone here is right.
It doesn't matter if you live in a ten square foot closet, if you're going to have mice, you have to give them decent space. The cage doesn't have to be huge, but it should be enough for them to run around. 10 gallons would be appropriate. Not a single hermit crab carrying case.
If you don't have the money to buy a $10 cage, you shouldn't have bought the mice. Even if you were PLANNING on buying the cage, you should have saved up enough for the cage first. It's cruel to keep them in a cage so small, even if it's "just for now." On top of that, that tiny cage doesn't look like there's any access to water at all. Fresh water should be available CONSTANTLY.
If you can't even afford a $10 cage at the moment, you cannot afford those pets. what are you going to do if one of them needs to go to the vet? A visit to the vet is A LOT more than $10.
Before you buy any pet, you should have things prepared for them, you should have researched beforehand to figure out what they would need, and you should have made sure you had enough money for them.
Sorry, OP, but it doesn't look like you're ready for these pets; please find a good home for them.
