Why choose Little One Mouse Food?

Mice are active, social animals that enjoy searching, gathering, climbing, running, and carrying small pieces of food to various spots in the enclosure. A fine mixed diet suits this well, as you are not only providing mice with food but also a feeding moment with more natural behavior.

Little One Mouse Food consists of many different small components. The mix contains, among other things, wheat, millet, sorghum, barley flakes, hulled oats, canary seed, sunflower seeds, buckwheat, dried carrots, niger seed, pea flakes, carob, spray millet, dried banana, peanuts, and bean flakes. As a result, there is a great variety in aroma, taste, and texture.

Because this food contains no added animal protein, you can decide for yourself when and how many insects to feed. This is practical for mice, because animal protein fits well within a varied diet, but you prefer to keep the amount tailored to your group and what else you offer.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a complete daily diet for mice. Because mice are social animals and should be kept with other mice of their kind, we calculate the consumption indication below based on 2 mice by default.

This food has been developed for mice. For dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, you should preferably choose a food that is specifically formulated for those animal species.

Why supplement animal protein separately?

Little One Mouse Food contains no added animal protein. This is convenient when you want to consciously control which proteins you provide and how often. Mice can benefit greatly from animal protein as part of a varied diet, for example via a small portion of insect mix, mealworms, crickets, or other suitable insect snacks.

By offering animal proteins separately, you keep a close eye on the quantity. Moreover, you can use it as a foraging moment, for example by hiding a few insects in a snack mat, digging box, or among natural materials.

Feeding & use

Mealberry recommends approximately 10 grams of Little One Mouse Food per mouse per day. The exact amount depends on size, age, activity, group size, condition, and how much is hoarded or left uneaten.

• Give as daily staple food for mice.
• Calculate with approximately 10 grams per mouse per day.
• Preferably only refill when most parts have been eaten.
• Use a portion in the food bowl and a small portion as scatter feed.
• Scatter only in a clean, dry spot or in a foraging zone.
• Supplement appropriate animal proteins separately.
• Combine with a well-equipped mouse enclosure with deep bedding, hiding places, nesting material, and climbing and foraging opportunities.
• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.

Switching to Little One Mouse Food

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of Little One Mouse Food. This allows your mice to get used to the new scent, taste, and mix texture.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your mice continue to eat well and the droppings remain normal.

Good to know

• Check regularly whether the entire mix is being eaten.
• Use a small portion as scatter feed to encourage foraging.
• Offer suitable animal proteins separately.
• Store the packaging in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.
• Check the smell, color, and texture before offering the food.
