Mice are omnivores (they eat plant & animal material). They will eat a wide variety of food if offered.

Mouse feeding guide:

• Mice should be fed a combination of ad lib fresh fruits and vegetables and small amounts of good quality mouse/rat pellets or cubes (ensure they have a protein content of at least 16% & fat content of 4-5%)

• Some examples of fruit and vegies include: apples, pears, banana, melons, stone fruits, citrus fruits, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, endive, carrots, Bok Choy/other Asian greens, celery, parsley, berries, tomato, fresh corn, beans, peas

• Avoid feeding mice a seed/grain mix as these are too high in fat and sugar. Mice are very prone to becoming obese & malnourished on these mixes. They tend to ‘select’ their favourite bits in the mix and therefore miss out on some important nutrients

• Access to fresh clean water at all times

• The following should be considered as treats and should only be offered in very small amounts: cereals, grains, seeds, breads, biscuits, sweets, cooked pasta & rice and breakfast cereals

•  Please ensure that any changes to the diet are made gradually to avoid gastrointestinal upset
