Dry pasta, corn bread, bones, hard boiled eggs are good treats.

When it comes to dried pasta is their any brands or kinds to stay away from? Thank you for the reply

I never provide nesting material, their maternal instincts kick in and they will make a nest out of their bedding.

Thank you ba11er..... this will be my first time breed mice at all so I'm just trying to get all the info I can one female looks like she is getting bigger for sure I'm still debating on rather or not to separate her or just leave them all together all the time

I collect toilet paper tubes. They really like when the tubes have a little paper left on them.

I do keep extra toilet and paper towel rolls lol they love them lol

I make a mix of grains, nuts, pasta for my rodents that I give as a healthy addition once a week or so. Most veggies/greens are fine for them in small amounts too and scrap bones or antlers to chew on.

For bedding, for their nest, mine really like using shredded paper.
Just my opinion, I do not know for sure, but I think the shredded paper helps them keep the warmth better and also absorbs the smell.
My wife shreds all the paper copies of our bills and such, so I always have a good supply. But really, I do not have to change their actual bedding much.

As for treats, mine , well some of mine love and I mean LOVE peanut butter. At 1st I started giving them some from the end of a zip tie. Now, most will eat it right off my finger.
I stole some of my wife's Cheeto before and they do like those as well.
I also give them pieces of my pizza crust, the really seem to like that as well.

Be careful with peanut butter, as a glob that is too large can choke a mouse. It's rare though. If you smear the peanut butter on something, it shouldn't ever be an issue.

I give fresh veggie scrap(like if I'm cutting up veggies for dinner, the scrap usually ends up in the rodent bins). Dry pasta is always good and it's cheap. I've also given cooked pasta when I overcook or scorch it cooking, so I tend to give a lot of food waste to the rodents. Dry plain cereals like generic brand cheerios(non-frosted) are also good. Seed treats are almost always snatched up.

Don't over do it though, I have a colony so I can use a lot of scrap since it's scattered through the whole colony.

I have never had a problem with the peanut butter, and they do like it. I do have a round stick that I do smear it on for them. Some will eat it right off my finger too.
I have one gray female mom (babies are 2-1/2 weeks old ATM), that if I let her, I am sure would want to live off peanut butter.
