What do mice eat?
Pet mice will eat many foods, however, not all of them are good for them and many should be fed only as ‘treats’. A good pellet food specifically for mice and rats is recommended. Treats can include, seeds, rice cake, cereals (without sugar), multi-grain bread (always dried first) and other healthy foods (some baby ‘finger foods’ for example are very good. Dried fruits and vegetables are also good for them as treats. Interestingly, cheese is not very good for mice and should be avoided. Too many treats will cause overweight in a mouse, shortening life span.
