Feeding

Feeding pet mice is cheap and easy.  Most pet stores offer packaged food and bulk food you bag yourself.  Just make sure the food you choose doesn't contain too many sunflower seeds, peanuts, millet, and other fatty seeds.

 One of the healthiest diets you can feed your mouse is rodent block.  Most mice will pick through their food, only choosing their favorite items and thus missing out on many important nutrients. Rodent block is essentially everything in regular rodent food, but in the form of tablets about an inch long. I usually mix these with regular bulk food to give my mice some variety.

Mice will enjoy treats such as small amounts of fruits, vegetables, bread, light crackers, dog biscuits, and healthy cereals.  For an extra special dessert you can add a bit of peanut butter to one of these snacks.
