They're also quite interested in me if I put my hand in their cage. They run up to me and sniff/nibble then run away and come straight back to do the same thing.

Facial expressions
I wouldn't really know what to describe here tbh, this assignment sounds hard! I guess you could talk about things like closing eyes, opening mouths, pointing ears back etc.

Body postures
They stretch out a lot when approaching things from a distance, Hunch up when eating, they tend to flatten when they're on unsteady ground.

Vocal and olfactory signals (isn't this sniffing? lol)
two of my mice I never hear a peep out of, one squeaks quite loudly if they're in bed and the others move suddenly and she has a kind of chattering whenever she's exited - like if you rearrange the cage.

Interaction with other animals
I take it you have enough.

I have some info on the interaction, but as for the others I'm at a loss to be honest. The mouse never squeeked once, it was interested, but that's about it lol.
not all mice are vocal

were there any more specific questions you had?
