Maileg sizing can be confusing because mice, bunnies, rabbits, furniture and clothing do not all use the same naming system. The easiest rule is to shop by the size or family role listed on the exact product. Maileg's current mouse family uses roles such as Baby, Little Brother/Sister, Big Brother/Sister and Mum/Dad, while bunnies and rabbits use My, Micro and numbered sizes.
This guide will help you understand which Maileg characters, furniture and clothing are designed to work together. Product lines can change, so when there is any doubt, use the compatibility information on the current product listing as the final check.
Quick Maileg Size Chart
| Maileg character | Approximate height | Helpful compatibility note |
|---|---|---|
| Baby Mouse | 2.5 in | Fits Mouse-family pieces and can also work with some My-size furniture. |
| Little Brother / Little Sister Mouse | 4 in | Part of the core Mouse family. |
| Big Brother / Big Sister Mouse | 4.5–5 in | Part of the core Mouse family; Maileg also notes compatibility with Micro clothing/furniture. |
| Mum / Dad Mouse | 6 in | Parents and grandparents share the larger core Mouse-family scale. |
| Medium Mouse | 13.5 in | Larger cuddle/play mouse; too large for the Mouse Hole Farmhouse. |
| Maxi Mouse | 19.5 in | Larger cuddle/play scale. |
| Bunny Size 1 | 9 in | Works with Miniature-size furniture. |
| Rabbit Size 1 | 10 in | Works with Miniature-size furniture. |
| Bunny Size 2 | 10 in | Works with Miniature-size furniture. |
| Rabbit Size 2 | 12 in | Works with Miniature-size furniture. |
Measurements are approximate and can vary slightly. Maileg notes that handmade characters can have small variations in height and shape.
How Maileg Mouse Sizes Work
Current Maileg mice are easiest to understand as a family rather than as Mini, Micro and My mice. The core family progresses from Baby Mouse to Little Brother/Little Sister, Big Brother/Big Sister and then Mum/Dad and grandparents.
According to Maileg's current size guidance, Baby mice are about 2.5 inches tall, Little Brother and Little Sister mice about 4 inches, Big Brother and Big Sister mice roughly 4.5–5 inches, and Mum and Dad mice about 6 inches. Larger Medium and Maxi mice exist as bigger play or cuddle companions, but they are not the same scale as the core Mouse Hole play world.
The core mouse family is designed around Mouse-size furniture and settings such as the Mouse Hole Farmhouse and castle. Baby mice can also fit some My-size furniture, while Big Brother and Big Sister mice can work with Micro clothing and furniture.
Maileg Bunny and Rabbit Sizes
Maileg bunnies and rabbits use a different system from the mice. Bunnies have floppy ears, while rabbits have upright ears, and their main sizes are numbered rather than based on family roles.
| Size | Bunny height | Rabbit height |
|---|---|---|
| Size 1 | 9 in | 10 in |
| Size 2 | 10 in | 12 in |
| Size 3 | 16 in | 19 in |
| Size 4 | 20.5 in | 26 in |
| Size 5 | 26 in | 31 in |
Maileg also has My and Micro bunnies/rabbits. My, Micro, Size 1 and Size 2 characters are suitable for the House of Miniature, but the furniture scale matters: Size 1 and 2 pair with Miniature-size furniture, while My and Micro have furniture designed for those smaller scales.
What About Older Maileg Bunny Sizes?
If you own older Maileg pieces, you may see names such as Mini, Medium, Maxi, Mega or Mega Maxi. Those labels can still appear in older collections or secondhand listings, which is one reason Maileg sizing can feel inconsistent.
As a rough reference, Maileg's published guide lists older bunny/rabbit sizes at approximately: My 4.5 inches, Micro 5 inches, Mini 10 inches, Medium 18 inches, Maxi 21 inches, Mega 28 inches and Mega Maxi 38 inches. Do not use those names interchangeably with current mouse-family sizing.
Which Maileg Furniture Fits Which Characters?
This is where paying attention to the product's stated scale really matters.
Mouse-size furniture
Mouse-size furniture is designed for the core Maileg mouse family. The Mouse Hole Farmhouse and Maileg castle settings are intended for Mouse-size and My-size furniture, and the mouse family from babies through grandparents is at home in this scale.
My and Micro furniture
These are smaller furniture scales. Baby mice can work with some My furniture, and Big Brother/Big Sister mice can work with Micro pieces. My and Micro bunnies/rabbits also have furniture specifically sized for them.
Miniature furniture
Despite the name, Miniature is a particular Maileg furniture scale. It is designed for the House of Miniature and works well with Size 1 and Size 2 bunnies/rabbits and much of the Teddy family.
Mini furniture
Mini and Miniature are not the same thing. Maileg's current guidance says Mini furniture is for larger soft toys, larger mice, and bunnies/rabbits in Size 3 and above; it is not intended to fit inside the dollhouses.
How Do I Know Which Maileg Clothes Fit?
Clothing is also size-specific. The safest approach is to match the clothing label or product description to the character's listed size or family role. Maileg says the intended size is shown on its packaging, so check that information before buying an outfit for an existing character.
If you are shopping online, compare the clothing description with the exact character you own rather than relying only on the character's approximate height.
Maileg Size FAQs
What size are Maileg mice?
The core mouse family ranges from approximately 2.5-inch Baby mice to approximately 6-inch Mum and Dad mice. Little Brother/Sister are about 4 inches and Big Brother/Sister are about 4.5–5 inches. Larger Medium and Maxi mice also exist.
Do all Maileg mice fit the same furniture?
No. The core mouse family works with Mouse-size furniture, but Maileg also makes My, Micro, Miniature and Mini furniture for different characters and play scales. Always check the specific furniture listing.
What is the difference between Maileg Mini and Miniature furniture?
They are different scales. Miniature furniture is designed for the House of Miniature and characters such as Size 1 and 2 bunnies/rabbits. Mini furniture is larger and is intended for bigger characters rather than the dollhouses.
What size Maileg mouse fits in the Mouse Hole Farmhouse?
Maileg's core mouse family—from Baby through parents and grandparents—is designed for the Mouse Hole Farmhouse. Medium and Maxi mice are too large for it.
Do Maileg Big Sister and Big Brother mice fit Micro furniture?
Maileg's current guidance says Big Brother and Big Sister mice can fit Micro clothing and furniture.
How can I avoid buying the wrong Maileg size?
Start with the exact character you own, note its family role or size, and then look for that compatibility on the clothing or furniture listing. If the listing is unclear, check before purchasing rather than assuming pieces with similar names are the same scale.
