Vegetables?

Hi, in addition to my mice commercial food, what vegetables, and how much of vegetables should I give them a day? Would a tablespoon of veggies for the two of them a day be good? Also, how much of treats is too much? Thank you!

There’s a stickied list of foods to help start you off with in this section. 
You can give very small amounts daily, if you like, so long as it doesn’t overtake their main food. View them more as a supplement to their seed/grain mix. You don’t want them filling up on it and ignoring their main food. At minimum, small amounts of fresh foods twice a week is what’s generally recommended. I don’t usually measure but as an example I’ll put in one baby spinach leaf, a blueberry, and a small bit of broccoli top.

i would give veggies every day or so, but make sure you slowly introduce them one at a time because if you introduce a watery vegetable too quickly it can lead to your mouse having diarrhea and this can be fatal because your mouse could become dehydrated very quickly.
