Re: What do you feed your mice
Rodent chow (Valley and Mazuri)
Cat food
Corn (cobs)
Apples
Oranges
Hotdogs (for fat content)
Left over chicken (again for fat content).
Rodent Chows and Catfood are mixed and served
Hotdogs or left over chicken once a week at cleaning time (especially to the nursing rats to reduce cannibalism),
Finally, I usually throw in on sale apples, oranges and corn every other week or so it's not set in stone, but this is basically their menu.

All beef, pork or Kosher hotdogs? *lol* But really, beef or pork? Or does it matte?

Re: What do you feed your mice
I switched all my rodents over to hog food, like many have talked about, due to the expense of trying to obtain a decent rodent food. For the mice I have switched to a hog food with an 18 % protein in hopes of getting a bit bigger litters. The 16 % has worked awesome for the soft furred and rats but think the mice need a little more to get the average litter size where I think it outta be!

I don't read the labels...I assume it does not matter. It's the fat content that I am trying to provide to the nursing mothers (so that they don't have to cannibalize the kits). I continue to get big plump litters until the dams are too old...then the numbers produced by that particular dam decrease...
I could be waaay off but this works for me, so I see no reason to change it, and I'd be happy to show pics of my litters of rats and mice anytime.
