Cactus mice [Peromyscus eremicus] are omnivores, which means that they may eat plants and other animals. For example, they feed on seeds and mesquite beans. They are known to eat from the available vegetation. So they accept the blossoms, fruits, and leaves of green plants. But they also eat bugs and insects, such as crickets and mealworms. And they like fresh, clean water to drink.
