Cheerios
Can Cheerios be used as treats? If so, which one is safe, Honey Nut Cheerios, or the regular cheerious?

Re: Cheerios
Yes, they are safe! Regular cheerios are recommended, I'm not sure about the Honey Nut ones. Just don't give too many, as they are only meant for treats.
Re: Cheerios
I wouldn't use honey nut cheerios just because they have more sugar.
Many say you can give up to 7 a day, but I usually give up to 2-3 max because 7 has always seemed way too much for a little mouse.

Re: Cheerios
Thanks everyone
Just another question, are their any other cerials that can be used as treats?

Yup, a puffed rice cereal (like Rice Krispies, except that brand tends to have quite a bit of added sugar), or really most unsweetened cereals, I'd imagine.
Hey, are multi-grain Cheerios okay?

Re: Cheerios
Original Cheerios has the least amount of sugar added (1g). Multi-grain cheerios are ok but for comparison has 6 grams of sugar. The "ancient grains" are ok too but have 5 grams of sugar. Honey nut has 9 grams of sugar.

Re: Cheerios
You can use pretty much any cereal as a treat, just avoid anything that's quite sugary or flavoured (e.g. chocolate or cinnamon). Cheerios, corn flakes, puffed rice. Mice love cereal!
Re: Cheerios
Make sure to double check ingredients. I personally choose to skip kinds that have BHT added (you can look that up if you want - it's just my decision to be better safe than sorry). But also other things that may not be safe for mouse consumption. For example I have pumpkin spice cheerios here but I've been told before to avoid spices like cloves and nutmeg, so the mice won't be getting any.

Re: Cheerios
I have fed my mouse both plain cheerios, honey nut cheerios, and frosted cheerios. He doesn't seem to prefer one over the other, so I just stick to plain cheerios because they have the least sugar.
My mouse also enjoys golden grahams as a treat
