What do you feed your breeder mice?

<< AnnieB, have you ever tried giving your rats a hard boiled egg that you have just cracked slightly? I tried this and they had a ball getting into it and "shelling" it for themselves. They eat the entire thing, and now get a hard boiled, slightly cracked egg about once a week. >>

*** Oh yeah!! They LOVE it! It's really fun watching them try to figure out how to open it, especially with the egg rolling around everywhere! LOL!
The mice aren't quite as adept as the rats though in opening their eggs, so that's why they get their eggs out of the shell with the shells mixed into their food.
Take care

well after reading those pages I think I will just get the 50lb bag of Horse chow (it has a few more indgreidients in it than the rat/mouse lab blocks) and supplement it with meat a few times a week. Thanks for the links!
