As part of a balanced diet, mouse treats offer an easy way to introduce variety and enrichment into your pet's life. They also come in handy for taming and training, though it's best to moderate your mouse's intake. Your mouse can safely enjoy treats a few times a week in small amounts. When shopping for mouse treats, prioritize natural ingredients. For convenience, Chewy offers an array of packaged mouse treats and mixes including:
Keep a variety of treats handy to keep your mouse from getting bored. Snack sticks are a good staple item but rich treats like yogurt drops, dried fruit, and nuts should be limited to avoid upsetting your pet's digestion or causing them to gain weight. Once you figure out what kind of treats your mouse enjoys, use Chewy's Autoship to keep your supply steady.
Natural treats like hay, grains, seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables are good for pet mice in small amounts. Your mice might also enjoy high-protein snacks like cooked egg or freeze-dried mealworms.
You can give your mouse treats a few times a week in very small amounts. As a general rule, treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet's daily calorie intake. Giving your mouse too many treats could upset their digestion or lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Yes, mice can eat some human food as treats. The best options are fresh fruits and vegetables like apples, bananas, broccoli, cucumber, peas, and fresh herbs like basil and parsley. Always chop fruits and veggies into very small pieces.
Avoid giving pet mice fruit seeds or pits, garlic, onions, citrus fruits, unripe tomatoes, rhubarb, raw beans, or potatoes. Limit your mouse's intake of high-calorie and carbohydrate-heavy foods like fruit (especially dried fruit) to avoid upsetting their digestion or causing weight gain.
Mice like both sweet and savory treats. Stick to naturally sweetened treats like fruit or yogurt drops instead of sugary snacks, and never feed your mouse candy. For savory treats, try small amounts of cooked pasta, vegetables, hardboiled egg, or freeze-dried mealworms as mouse treats.
