Woodmice

Do Woodmice eat cat food?

[Lance Morgan]

Essentially they will try anything if they are hungry, I have had leather eaten but they're not big raw meat eaters. Cereals and seeds cooked or uncooked in wahtever form are their staple diet. Why do you ask?

I'm putting hedgehog food down for the hedgehog, who might be in my hedgehog house, and I'm not sure who's eating it. A woodmouse or the hedgehog. I'm thinking of trying cat food but I'm not sure the hedgehog ate that last time either. It's getting expensive feeding a woodmouse hedgehog food.

Try scattering a few peanuts around for the woodmice-they love them!

Sunflower seed, blackberries, raisins, I have had them closer than arms length
and fed them these in the garden

Nuts can give pet mice and rats serious skin problems but they also love them.Too high in protein but maybe i am wrong regarding the wood mouse.

Our hedgehog rescue centre always use tinned cat food (not fish).You could scatter a little wild bird seed for the woodmouse which is inexpensive.

Anyway pattie,i hope it works out for you,regardless of what you decide.

I don't mind feeding the woodmouse but I would rather the hedgehog food was eaten by the hedgehog.

Thanks for all suggestions. The birds that feed from the bird feeder scatter enough bird seed and sunflower seeds for one mouse.

Woodmice will be well happy in your garden.

I think the hedgehog is probably eating the food pattie and they are around and very hungry at the moment.

But I haven't seen him/her. Last year I would see at least two (at different times) every evening.
