What do you feed your mice

[Raptor]

I'm learning more by reading this thread, had no idea I could feed dog food to these breeders! Now, that goes for both mice AND rats?

I have Purina Dog Chow for our dog, who also gets table scraps every so often.

But, I bought this bag of Rabbit, Gerbil and Other Small Animals with alfalfa hay but it seems like mice just ground it up and make a dust pile out of it, the rats won't even touch it so they've been stickin' to scraps?

Mice/rats don't need roughage like alfalfa. You basically wasted your money. Rabbits have different food needs than gerbils/rats/mice/hamsters. I just buy my mice gerbil/hamster food. They do quite well on it. I get an average of 5 or six mouse pups per litter.
