Mice are nervous creatures and harder to handle than some of the larger species such as rats. They can become tame and will take food from the hand and allow themselves to be handled if started at a young age. Mice are entertaining to watch, easy to care for and make very few demands on their owners. What to Feed Your Mice Mice should be fed a complete and balanced mouse food. You can also feed bread as a treat, preferably wholemeal, soaked in water and squeezed out. A good quality, heavy, earthenware bowl keeps food dry and clean and prevents the Mice from tipping the food. Bowls must be cleaned after every use. If you’re changing the diet of your Mice, its vital that you introduce the new food gradually. Mix about one quarter of the new food with three quarters of the old food on the first day and then gradually increase the new food and decrease the old food over a 10-day period. This should make sure that your Mice have no tummy upsets. In the summer they love treats such as Dandelion heads, and also seeding grass, but don’t overdo this. They also like to nibble a little carrot. Mice are omnivorous, but it is a myth that they love cheese. It doesn’t do them any good and is only used in mousetraps because it smells strongly and has a good texture for putting on the little spike. Housing Mice can be housed in a wire cage with a solid base, a plastic Mouse home or a large vivarium with a well-ventilated cover. The important thing to remember is that a home for Mice needs to give them room to enjoy life, as they love to explore and exercise. Multi-level cages are a good idea as they add interest. They love to hide and climb, so sisal rope and a place for them to rest above the ground are ideal.They also need a run where they can play and exercise. Mice are best kept indoors and careful thought should be given to where the home is situated. The temperature in the room should be constant, away from direct sunlight and draughts, and out of the reach of any other pets. Mice have very sensitive hearing so they should be situated away from loud noises. Cages should be cleaned out on a regular basis.This is especially important in warmer weather in order to prevent flies being attracted to the cage. Every day: Remove any soiled bedding Once a week: Remove all bedding. Thoroughly sweep out all the soiled bedding. Rinse with warm water and mild detergent and wait until dry. Spray inside of cage with a safe cleaning product and wait until dry. Replace with clean bedding (check for signs of mould etc. on bedding and discard if necessary).

Rats often receive a bad press and many people are scared of them. However, fancy rats are completely different from wild rats. Don’t be taken in by all you read and hear – they make really wonderful pets and delightful companions. Some people say they don’t like rat’s tails; but cats, dogs and rabbits all have tails – and rat’s tails are just the right size and shape for them. All fancy rats are really friendly, not to mention very smart, affectionate and playful! Rats are very social animals and get lonely and unhappy if they are kept alone. They’re easy to look after so it’s best to get a pair. Feeding Your Rats Rats are omnivorous requiring both plant and protein food sources in their diets (much like humans), and specially formulated diets help to meet those nutritional requirements. Rats need feeding twice a day, every day (in the morning and in the evening). Give only what can be eaten in a day and check for stale food that they may have stashed away somewhere!

The important thing to remember is that a Rat home can never be too big, as they love to explore and exercise. Multi-level cages are an excellent idea as they add interest for the Rat. They love to hide and climb, so sisal rope, a large Rat wheel and a place for them to rest above the ground are ideal – they love hammocks. They also need a large run where they can play and exercise. Rats are best kept indoors and careful thought should be given to where your Rat’s home is situated.
