Cheese and the mouse?

Question

Answer 1

No, mice cannot eat cheese. It's not good for their digestive system and they can have allergic reactions to it. Feeding a mouse cheese could result in severe illness or even death in some cases.

First of all it's always best to have more than one, two is the best number since mice are social creatures and can get bored and lonely. Be careful putting 2 males together as they are territorial and will most likely fight, maybe even kill each other.

Mice are very easy to take care of, give them a house or something to sleep in, a water bottle (one of those ones that hang on the wall) and a small dish in which you put the food. Food can include stuff bought from a pet shop (it's pretty cheap) and any type of seeds, vegetables, grains, multi-grain bread, examples include: pumpkin seeds, pumpkin, chicken grain, grass seeds, carrot, rockmelon. Give them things to play with like a wheel, ladders and stuff to climb, a stick or branch to naw on, this helps keep their teeth worn down since mouse teeth constantly grow, if they don't have anything to chew on then they'll have to get them clipped or it'll cause heaps of problems. For bedding you can use wood shavings, not saw dust, saw dust is too fine. Shredded paper, special stuff from the pet shop.

To take care of it just keep their water fresh and topped up, give them some food each morning (they'll nibble at it throughout the day), clean out their cage once a week using just plain water and maybe a little bit of soap, don't use any disinfectant stuff cause it'll get rid of all smell and the mice will feel insecure since their home doesn't smell like home anymore. Handle them regularly to get them used to you and also for your own enjoyment. Never pick them up by the tail, slip your fingers underneath them, but don't sqeeze them. That's about all I can say, you'll learn things through experience. Good luck, and enjoy your new friends.

Answer 2

As a occasional treat yes, as a soul source of food no.

If you really want one I suggest doing a lot of research, about.com has some good articles on pet care.  There is a lot to know about caring for mice, and I can't possibly tell you everything you need to know.

Answer 6

a mouse is very simple to take care of.

clean food/cage/water and thats pretty much it.

yes, rodents can eat cheese but you probably dont want to feed it cheese that you buy from a non-pet store since the cheese might ccontain bad stuff inside of it

Answer 7

i own fancy mice and i give them the shredded kind and i give it to them every once and while but my mice like food like

-potatoes ( baked potato, fries etc..)

-craft macaroni and cheese

-root beer float plain vanilla ice cream

-cooked plain noodles (angel hair pasta)

-bread

-cheese (kraft sharp cheese shredded)one or two little slices

they also like peanut butter

i dont know if your mouse will but i would not give it to them all the time just like every once and a while
