There are a large variety of mouse treats sold in pet shops and most mice relish these. Although these are designed for mice, they are designed as treats and should not be fed in large quantities to your mouse. The overfeeding of treats which are high in sugar could lead to your mouse becoming obese.
Other treats that can be fed to your mouse include:
- Biscuits
- Boiled Potatoes
- Bread (fresh or stale)
- Breakfast Cereals (low fat)
- Chicken (cooked)
- Cheese (small amounts occasionally as fattening)
- Currents
- Dog Biscuits
- Egg (scrambled or boiled)
- Fish (cooked)
- Mealworms
- Meat (cooked)
- Raisins
- Sultanas
- Toast
Never feed a mouse any of the following:
- Chocolate
- Garlic*
- Onions
- Rabbit Mix (containing antibiotic ingredients)
- Raw Kidney Beans
- Sweets
- Toffee
*There is much evidence to suggest that garlic can be beneficial to health but there is also some evidence to suggest that an overdose of garlic could be harmful. Therefore although it may not be strictly dangerous to feed to mice its effects on mice is not completely known.
