Question

I am mice and hamster sitting for some friends and I have a hamster already so I have just been giving both hamsters the same food but do mice (from Petco) eat hamster food too or not? I don't want anything to happen to them please help asap!
Thank you!

Answer 1

Ok, hun, this is what I can tell you. Mice, when wild will eat anything AND everything, (up to and including wires and walls in someone's home.) I am sure they will not only eat hamster food, but they will love it, as it is something different than what they are used to... also, I am sure to a mouse, it tastes better than a wall or wire.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Mice will eat just about anything. Go to the pet store check the ingredients against each other.

Answer 3

It's probably fine for a short period of time. Over the long haul, though, mice and rats need a lower protein and a low fat diet to avoid obesity.

Answer 4

We feed our mice the same thing we feed our hamsters--Kaytee brand hamster & gerbil feed, which we get at Petco.

Answer 5

Yes, mice and hammys can eat the same food. Don't sweat it!!!! The mice will get their regular food when they get home.

Answer 6

you are doing fine , a mouse will eat the same food your hamster eats ...a rodent is a rodent...throw in some human food and watch them put on the feed bag

Answer 7

mice will do ok on hamster food, though rat food would be better. they also need small amounts of veggies, not ice berg lettuce, something like carrots, raisins, etc.

Answer 8

no.mice are different type from hamsters.go to the store and buy a mice food.they should have them

Answer 9

i think so.......
