Your mouse has a high metabolism so he will
need to eat frequently. However, he is a tiny animal so the size of his portions
must be equally tiny. Give your mouse only about a tablespoon of high-quality mouse
pellets or seeds daily. Give him small quantities of fresh greens and hard
vegetables for added nutrition and to keep his teeth trim. Your mouse will get
diarrhea if he eats too many fresh vegetables. Control portion sizes so your
mouse doesn’t get fat. Ensure that your mouse gets plenty of daily exercise
running around outside the cage. Protect your mouse and always supervise him when
he is outside the cage. He is somewhat nocturnal but he will have awake times
during the day. Feed your mouse his big meal during an evening awake period to help
him sleep more at night and let you sleep then too. Contact
