What smelly food do mice love?

Answer 1

It's not just cheese that mice love. They like nuts, too.

But, answering your question:


Mice like all kinds of cheese, so smelly ones they love, too!! :)

----------------------------

What food to offer mice depends on whether they are pests you want to attract to a trap, in which case many foods are suitable, since you aren't interested in keeping the mouse healthy. Mice are attracted to sweet things and barley sugar or jelly beans, for example, are sometimes used as trap-bait because mice are attracted to them and they stick easily to a trap. Mice have a highly-developed sense of smell and will detect bait we might not consider smelly. Highly odorous bait isn't a good thing to have around your home, in any case.

If you're looking for foods to offer pet mice it becomes important to choose foods which will not harm the animals in the short or long term, and will improve and maintain their health. So, foods containing a lot of fat (such as cheese) or sugar won't do your pets much good. There are references you can check on the care of mice, and you could also speak with your local pet shop about suitable, healthy foods for your mice.

You might like to consider also the comfort of those in the vicinity of your pet mice when it comes to choosing smelly foods!

Ice-cream cones make a good occasional treat for pet mice, since they not only enjoy the taste but have great fun playing with them.
