Can you feed mice rat food?

Hi im thinking of getting some mice and am wondering can you feed them rat food, like the pets at home stuff.Can you feed mice rat food?
I used to feed my rabbit guinea pig food all the time, vets and pet shops say that it could give them diseases and blahblahblah!





Mine are still healthy :)


I don't know alot about mice and rats food...My rats are eating gerbil food right now...So I guess..Can you feed mice rat food?
Pets at home own brand is cheap crap, please dont feed it to anything! Not sure if its OK to feed mice rat food, they are very similar animals but mice are smaller so probably require a lot less protein. If you google and look at different online places you can probably buy mouse food. If anything hamster mix would probably be a better choice than rat food, or perhaps a mixture of hamster food and a vegetarian rat pellet such as Science Selective Rat. Mice will eat very little so its worth paying for the good stuff, they will live longer, healthier lives.
You can yes but I would check the analysis first. Mazuri for example has mouse/rat food but it is high in protein for rats so veggies are typically added to prevent itching. I'm not sure what a mouse needs.





EDIT:


btw bluecow...and any other tard that may come here.





Mice became pets hundreds of years ago. In fact they were favored by many as pets. So go yell at your ancestors for domesticating them =]
Guinea pig food has too much Vit C in it for rabbits.





I feed both rats and hamsters/mice/gerbils Hunters farm shops Fancy rabbit mix, and its perfect for them. Pets at home stuff is awful. it gives then diareah even if they eat it constantly.
Yes.. you can! But if you want to get mice, I kinda suggest hamsters. Hamsters are MUCH nicer. But, do watcha want!
mine doe, and mice are exellent pets, mine eats cereal (non salted or sugered)
Mice will eat ANYTHING.
I feed my mice rat food =]
mice are pests, however some brainy fag, managed to con the public into thinking that these little critters can be sold as 'Pets'





you can feed them anything and it wouldn't make a difference to their well being.
