  1. mice can eat all veggies except onions, mushrooms, peppers.

    and all fruits, ...if they happen to like them


  2. The following foods are not good or even toxic for mice and rats:

    Generally, if you would eat a food, you can give it to your rats. Here are some exceptions and notables:

    raw dry beans or peanuts—contains antinutrients that destroy vitamin A and enzymes needed to digest protein and starches, and causes red blood cells to clump

    raw sweet potato—contains compounds that form cyanide in the stomach

    green bananas—inhibits starch-digesting enzymes

    green potato skin and eyes—contain solanine, a toxin

    wild insects—can carry internal parasites and diseases

    raw bulk tofu—can contain bacteria, packaged raw tofu is safe

    orange juice—forbidden for male rats only, d-limonene in the skin oil, which gets into the orange juice during squeezing, can cause kidney damage and kidney cancer due to a protein that only male rats have in their kidneys.  Pieces of the orange fruit are okay if you wash the orange-skin oil off of it after peeling it.

  3. acidic fruits (oranges, lemons..)

    acidic vegi's (onions, garlic...)
