I've given our two rodents crickets, and they both like them. The mouse also seems to like meal worms. Any other ideas? We try and keep a good diet for them. They get fresh vegies and stuff from outside as well as they're food. The hamsters get two to three Yogurt treat things per day. What kind of proteins might be good for hamsters and mice?
I give my hamsters cheese, cooked meat, and cooked eggs. The yogurt treats are good, but I would not give them that many. You can try to give the hamster meal worms also. Dog treats are a favorite of many hamsters. Good luck.

They'll start nibbling solid food around 2/3 weeks of age, and will be eating just solid food by 3/4 weeks. (at which time your friend needs to get the boys out of there!) They should be ready for new homes at 4/5 weeks.girly myspace

When mice or mouse enter your house do they stay or do they go out?
I saw a mice/mouse yesterday coming in my living room and going out again about 4 or 5 times, my parents say dont worry they are scared of Humans and will go out of the house as they feel scared in a house, but i dont know what to do, i can set traps but wondering if they work all the time or not, we've blocked all holes we had aswell.When mice or mouse enter your house do they stay or do they go out?
usually if you see a mouse there is more than one mouse in your house, they will find a food source so any pet food left down or on the sides will be eaten any bread or even crumbs on the floor will be eaten, they will breed it is nice and warm in a house and there is usually a constant food supple close at hand, they won't always leave but will come out when you are in bed, if you see mice in your house then i would set traps, it is not just the health risk (they run along and constantly pee and poo) but also they will chew wiring, we had a power cut and when we checked we found a mouse had chewed the wiring and shorted the whole house, luckily they did not cause a fire, we had mice with 3 terriers running looses so if they ain't scared of dogs who tried to hunt them they are not going to be scared of people, you have done well to block the holes but leave one open and place a trap there, they will take the bait and you should get them, we caught our mice with fresh bread and peanut butter, but you may have to move the trap around as if there is more than one they will smell the death of one and avoid that area, place traps where you know they are running and keep setting them, if you think you have got them all leave the traps down for 3 weeks after you last saw a mouse, we made the mistake of only trapping for two weeks after and then the babies came out and it all started again, best of luck honey, they need to go as they cause so much damage in the walls that you don't see.When mice or mouse enter your house do they stay or do they go out?
Mice go wherever there is food. If there is an easily accessible food source in your house, they won't leave (not for good anyway). It's good that you've blocked the holes, but they're might be some you don't know about. You should set traps.
Also, you can use poison. Rodent poisons are actually anti-coagulants, which cause mice to bleed to death internally. The only problem with this is, the mouse could die somewhere you can't get to it and you'll end up with a terrible stench in your house for a few days.
Was it one mouse 4 or 5 times, or 4 or 5 mice?
They're always exploring and they'll stay if they find food...
and if you've blocked those holes with them inside.....
Why not think of them as easy care pets?
hi, usually they stay especially if they hav a family, i was told by an expert that they can get in through vent holes (well lets put it this way if you can fit a biro/pen in to a hole then a mouse can fit through that, but dont go blocking up your vents ok?
if you are a slob and leave food lying around they will stay in the house, if not they will go out at night and forage in the woods
they come in when its winter and leave in the summer!
just get a cat
They usually breed in the house and spread disease by peeing on everything.

When did you start feeding your corn snake live mice?
At what age was he/she big enough?
How did you prepare her for it?
Have you ever had any complications with live feeding?When did you start feeding your corn snake live mice?
Well, you can start feeding them live from their hatch date, so there's no preparing. However I recommend using frozen/thawed for a few reasons. One, it can be dangerous for the snake. I have a picky Ball Python who won't touch frozen/thawed food and several of her prey items try to bite her. Not only that, but a few times, she killed her prey and refused to eat it. Live food also gets very expensive as your snake needs larger meals. Frozen/thawed food is cheap, not dangerous and you can keep a large amount for a long time. Also, if the snake refuses a meal for w/e reason, you have to feed and take care of the mouse until the snake DOES eat it, where as frozen/thawed mice can be refrozen and not worried about. I can't stop you from feeding live, but there are the pros and cons lol. Good luck with your corn snake ^^When did you start feeding your corn snake live mice?
snakes can eat live food from the time of their birth.
The food must be properly sized for them, around the size of their head-2x bigger then their head.
They should natually take to live food readily with no transition required.
The downfall is if you opt not to pre-kill or stun the mice the snake could recieve bite wounds from the mouse if the snake does not strike at the mouse's head. Also do not leave live mice in the snake cage unattended as there is always the chance the mouse could injuire your snake. Food that has not been frozen also can transmit certin worms from the prey animal to the snake.
I have started feeding my adult corn snake live mice when it was a year old my baby corn snake i am now feeding baby mice live pinkies.
I got her to eat her live mice on accident i had to put a mouse down and her cage was the only one that was open. So i put it in there. the next thing i new i see her wrapped around the mouse.
I have had one problem with feeding live mice. Miss strikes. Biting in the wrong place when my snake bites in the wrong place the mouse bites it. The worst problem i ever had is when she bit it by the tail.
Never started i have always been on frozen.
It is alot better for your snake,
no chance in it getting injuried.(:

What is the best way to get rid of mice?
It will have to be non-toxic as I have kids. I have already tried traps and they are just ignored by the rodents.What is the best way to get rid of mice?
mice are real tricky! Took me 3 nights straight to catch mine, cause he could eat the treats right out of the snap trap without setting it off!
How about getting a cat?What is the best way to get rid of mice?
A friend of mine has a cabin in Maine, and every year they go up it's infested with mice. What her family has done with great success is this:
They put a ton of peanut butter in the bottom of a tall vase, with a plank of wood leading ramplike to the top of the vase. The mice are attracted to the peanut butter and walk up to the ramp before falling down into the vase. They can't get out, and when my friends look in the next morning, there are always a bunch of mice with peanut butter all over their whiskers, peering out as cute as they can be. My friends then take the vase with the mice in it, drive it far away, and dump the mice somewhere in the woods.
Try it out! If it works, you should get some adorable pictures of mice, as well as ridding yourself of them. I'm a big fan of this, because, unlike snap traps or glue traps, it's completely harmless. As long as your kids don't eat the peanut butter!
Glue traps, just put them where the kids can't step on them
Try oil of peppermint. You can find it in health food stores or specialty stores. Place a cotton ball with a drop of oil of peppermint on it along walls where mice like to run

What is a humane way of getting rid of mice?
My family and I recently discovered signs of mice in our house and I am wondering if there are any humane ways of getting rid of mice rather than having to resort to mouse traps. The cheap mouse traps we purchased have not been working well for us. Please, No smart aleck answers.What is a humane way of getting rid of mice?
Go to a Farm Supply store and purchase a live trap. You can then turn them loose elsewhere once caught.What is a humane way of getting rid of mice?
know with the feel good answer of catch and release, realize you are releasing a scared animal, that are very competitive and combative towards others of their kind, who is dropped off in areas where they don't know where to find food and shelter, will more than likely die a much more stressful if not violent death than snap traps. Along with you traping an animal that is resistant to certain illnesses and now released in a new area exposing that population to possible viruses that they are not immune to, instead of killing the original one, now killing numbers of them.
