What do you feed an adult wild mouse?

Answer 1

Answer

It depends on what kind of mouse you have. But generally, you may feed it soft breads (if the bread is hard, soak it in room temperature milk) Also, grains such as oats, and other varying small foods, nothing too rich. Pet mice eat vegetables and fruits, so try giving them small portions of that. Hamster/gerbil mixes work well, but if they contain a lot of sunflower seeds, try to remove them and set them aside as an occasional treat, as sunflower seeds are high in fat and can cause obesity in a mouse.

Answer

Mice eat almost anything and love sunflower seeds. Make sure to feed him/her fresh food too. Sunflower seeds are generally high in fat, and too many can be bad for its health. So, feed your mice a variety of foods. They can east most anything from Cheerios to carrots, or you can simply buy some variety food at your local pet shop.

Answer

1. Nuts
2. Fruits
3. Seeds
4. You can also try mixing in small amounts of cat food or dog food/dog biscuits to keep the teeth from growing too long
5. Calcium is important for growing babies and pregnant does (female mice) so you can mix in a dab of unsweetened/uncultured plain yogurt.

The only thing you need to remember is that you shouldn't feed them bread, this has high amounts of salt and if fed to them all the time, will kill them.

Answer 2

Mice will eat about anything. apart form cheese (really bad for them) :) You can go to Wal-Mart or a pet shop and get mouse food. It is usually made up of grains and seeds. If the mouse does not eat for a few days you might have to let it go. Some wild mice are know to not eat when in captivity and can starve to death. They get stress from being caught and refuse to eat. If you do have to let the mouse go I would drive out away from any houses and let them lose. Be sure you give plenty of fresh water and also be aware that you might have to give the mouse water in a small bowl as they might not figer out how to use a hanging bottle for a little while. Dont be worried if you dont actually see the mouse eat or drink. Just be sure and put a small amount in the cage so you can tell if they are eating or not. some treats are: short bread, rolled oats and cruskits they love lettice

Answer 3

If the mouse does not yet have teeth sufficient to gnaw, then the only good way is from his mother's teat, unfortunately. They're very dependent on their mom (and other lactating females in their group) for all their needs, including excretion, for a couple weeks. By the time they're three weeks old, they're probably weaned enough to make it on their own. My son used to raise mice (sometimes wild ones) when he was a teenager (a few years ago) and it seems to me that they were hopping around and doing pretty well on their own by three weeks.

Answer 6

Wild pet mouse? Either the mouse is kept in a cage or is living behind the skirting boards. Either way provide water and food.

I don't know your circumstances, but when you put down food, keep very still. Eventually the mouse may be trained to take food from your hands - it requires patience.
