Treat ideas
by AnonONIagent Sat 16 Jul 2016, 4:18 pm
So I've long been looking for a treat that my mice will go crazy for. So far the only thing that they will always for sure take from my hands is peanut butter smeared on my finger. Otherwise they seem to ignore fresh fruits and sunflower seeds when I offer them.
So I'm looking for suggestions on things around the house to try feeding my mice. This excludes mouse-specific treats that can't also be eaten by humans, as currently my mom isn't allowing me to spend my money on anything besides food, bills and rent.

Cheerios and rice crispies (in fact most cereals, just avoid anything too sugary). Pine nuts and pumpkin seeds also go down well with my girls

Uncooked noodles and many "natural" dog treats (look at ingredients). And stale bread. Non-flavored popcorn.
I believe they can have a little nibble of cooked chicken, right?

Be careful with the peanut butter. Most of us pick the peanuts out of the food we give our mice because peanuts can cause allergies in mice.
Even my most tame mice won't always take things from my hands. Sometimes they are more interested in my actual hands. They want to hang out and crawl on me more than taking a treat.
Here are some safe household treats: wheat bread or toast, dry oats (not instant), cheerios, rice krispies, walnuts/pecans (unsalted), dried coconut, a nibble of string cheese, an occasional lick of olive oil, cooked spaghetti, plain popcorn, plain yogurt, and flaxseeds. Good luck.
oh, and yes, they can have plain chicken and also scrambled eggs.
