I give my mice dog biscuits atm but was wondering about cat biscuits? I have a load and was wondering if they're ok for mice too?

they will be fine.

I have reared mice and rats over many generations / years or just pig roll diet and now for the last 2 years on dog biscuit, I can't see why cat biscuits would be any different.

Cat biscuits tend to be very much higher in fat and protein than dog biscuits and so you could well end up with skin problems in your rodents from using them ....

So a handful as an occasional treat should be fine though? I was given a ruddy large bag of them, I don't have a cat lmao Laughing

I give the mice/rats cat biscuits now and again and also to the mealies who do very well on them as an additive to the bran/oats mix I raise em on xxxxxxxxxx
