By: MousePaws Date: February 26, 2017, 9:59 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Mice only need between 12-14 percent protein. Anything higher can cause painful "hot spots" on a mouse. Also, pet shop mice (AKA any mice not from a good breeder) might need even less protein, between the 12-13 percent range! Just do what works best for your future mice and you. #Post#: 266-------------------------------------------------- Re: Is my future mouses diet good?

I will find a link to a PMFF topic about this. *****************************************************
