Mice are different: wild voles and forest, house and decorative. The scale of public harm and style of their food differ a little. However, than the mouse house eats, it is visible at once.
Wild mice
Feral mouse creations are divided into two main types - forest and field. Where live, it is not necessary to explain. The diet of these rodents consists of sprouts of young trees, green bark, fruits. In years, favorable for reproduction, these mice become the real disaster for forest and gardening farms. Strongly grain cultures, such as wheat, a rye and corn suffer - mice destroy both dozrely grain, and green shoots. In lean years the wild rodents begin to adapt in houses.
House mice
Under this deceptive name not the favourite pet with a tender nickname, and quite real source of women's squeals and garbage is. By the nature these mice eat juicy parts of plants and their seeds. Their house activity can be justified more likely with the aspiration to harm, than a production instinct. Often appearance of rodents in the house is noted by the spoiled furniture, the gnawed books. There is a peculiar smell, tears in bags and packages, thin walls of a case are found. Not to eat - to spoil so. Mice will eat grain, grain, bread and, of course, cheese. Will spoil other dairy products, meat. The house rodent can quite choose any house plant for a meal.
Decorative mice
These peaceful zverka are on sale in any pet-shop in rather large numbers - up to 8 mice on a cage. This species of pets in food is unpretentious. It is possible to get the special grain and vitamin complex making a basic element of food of a rodent. From time to time the store forage should be diluted with fresh vegetables and fruit: apples, squash, cabbage, carrots. It is good if they are mixed with any grain porridge. It is desirable to add young sprouts of a fruit tree, green bark, leaves of dandelions, a plantain and salad to a usual diet in the spring. For 90%, decorative mice, of course, vegetarians. But one-two in a month the rodent should offering low-fat cheese, cottage cheese or even a small piece of the chicken meat boiled without salt.
From the street to the house
Mice which were caught, so to speak, in the clean floor can not eat at all. Under the influence of a stress they will refuse food and water and will die, literally, starvation. So the "cultivated" mice, eat, first of all, at will. That to awaken it, the mouse should offer food which it ate in the nature - vegetable escapes, young bark for forest and fresh grain for field. It is necessary to pass to store grain complexes and porridges gradually. When the mouse more than refuses day food, it is allowed to apply violence. To feed from the syringe with liquid vegetable or grain gruel. Through several such sessions the animal will start over again eating independently.
