Awesome, glad you found the perfect diet for your mouse! I admit if we didn't have so many animals we'd probably prefer the smaller bags as well, but we'd need like 5 of those bags just to last us a few weeks , lol. But you made a great choice. Adding mealworms and vegetables to your mouse's diet sounds like a great idea! Just a tip, mealworms should not be given too much, like maybe every few days. Hope you have a great time here, looking forward to your future posts!MooMouse wrote:Ok good news! I took abeona's advice in checking my local pet stores, and the first one that I walked into had Sunseed Vita Parakeet sitting on a shelf! It was $7 for 2 pounds, which isn't too bad I suppose. Thanks again for all of your advice! I will be picking up mealworms from Walmart and definitely try adding some vegetables to my mouse's diet. The members of this fourm are so helpful, I will definitely post here often!

Just make sure to pick out sunflower seeds, raisins, and peanuts!

Update: Rogue is really enjoying the Sun seed Vita Parakeet food! He gets so excited every time I refill his bowl. But I have a question. He does not eat these little colored things:
Should I wait to refill his bowl until he eats these? I refill his bowl every other day (when I say “refill” I mean dump the shelled seeds and whatever is left in the trash and fill the empty bowl to the top). Don’t worry, I’m not starving him by not refilling on one day, it’s just that he hasn’t finished eating what was in the bowl yet.
I should probably add that Rogue is not a picky eater at all. He usually eats whatever I offer.
Thanks for your input!

Don't worry, I only refill every other day too.
If he still has food leftover when you change the bowl, give him less. You want him to eat everything before he gets more so he doesn't just pick out his favorites.
