Why choose the Getzoo Mice Basic Menu?

Getzoo Mouse Basic Menu consists of many different small parts, making the food a form of enrichment as well.

The mix contains seeds and grains as an energy base, supplemented with vegetables, herbs, flowers, and leaves for scent, color, and variety. Additionally, mealworms and maggots have been added as sources of animal protein. This is valuable because mice are naturally omnivores and do not eat exclusively plant-based foods.

This food is especially strong for owners who not only want to feed their mice but also want to let them forage. You can place a portion in a food bowl and scatter the rest throughout the enclosure, in a foraging tray, or among safe bedding. This makes eating a more natural activity.
