What food to give mice recovering from mites?

I've got 6 male mice who are recovering from mites. The mites are dead but their coats are still in poor condition with bald patches and scabs. Are there any foods/specific vitamins I could give them that would help keep their coats healthy?





They already have general small rodent vitamins in their water.





Thanks, Rose.What food to give mice recovering from mites?
I wouldn't actually use the water vitamins. Many animals will notice the different taste and stop drinking their water.





Try giving them a piece of bread soaked in olive oil for the coat. Or just put some olive oil on them (not kidding). It nourishes the coat and is a nice treat!What food to give mice recovering from mites?
My recipe is:


2 part 鈥?cooked, whole grain rice


4 parts 鈥?crushed oats or barley


1 part 鈥?millet seed


1 part 鈥?molasses
