-Feeding & Drinking


Food And Water:
Food is very important in there diet as they can get obese very easily it can also cause other health problems if not fed well. You should avoid the fatty food and get a lot of fibre in there diet, you should get a commercial food recommended by your local pet store, you should feed them that and fresh fruits such as:

-Apples

-Carrots

-Broccoli

-Pear

-etc there are many more fruits that would suit them depending on your pet mousses or rats needs and likes. You can feed you mouse or rat some seeds but they are high in oil so feed it to them as a treat. Whatever you feed your mouse make sure it is in a bowl that will not spill easily because if it does it can get contaminated quit quickly. Do not leave uneaten food in the cage through it out every morning and replace it with fresh stuff.

Water, you should have a sippy bottle and replace the water with fresh cool water twice a day. as with food dishes the water bottle should be cleaned out and sterilized once a day or a minimum of every other day.
