I am looking at getting my mice teklad feeding blocks for their primary diet, and supplimenting with foraging treats like veggies, sugar free cereals and other things from home. I would like to know how fast 2 female mice will typically go through feeding blocks. Our options for ordering are 5lbs, 9lbs, or 14lbs.
Thank you,
Lizelle
Order the smallest amount possible. They go through maybe five blocks a week, max,. (although make sure they have food available 24X7., don't limit how much they get) The blocks start losing nutritional value after about 6 months, and there's no way 2 mice can go through more than a few pounds in that much time.
A five pound bag lasted my rats maybe 2 months, if that's any reference. Mice eat barely a fraction of what rats eat.
