Feeding Tip

Feeding your mice doesn’t have to be a routine chore for you or the mice. Instead of just putting a bowl of food in your mice house, try placing some food in different places. Mice love to burrow and forage around as if they were in the wild. Put some food in different places that they can find by using their senses.

Also, don’t forget to mix up their diet with different fresh foods that mice enjoy eating. A healthy mouse, is a happy mouse, and a happy mouse is a healthy mouse.
