What Do Mice Eat?





         Mice most prefer to eat cereal grains and plants, but they will feed on
         almost anything. They are very commonly drawn to dried (and bagged)

         stored food, including pet food.









         How Quickly Do Mice Breed?









            In a single year, one female mouse can breed up to 10

            litters of five to six young. These 60 offspring can begin to


            reproduce themselves in as little as six weeks. So within

            months, you could have a huge population of mice.
