Are they any good as hides for mice

You've got to make sure that they're really clean, so the residue doesn't go rancid. If you dry them out and peel the skin off the inside, they should be clean enough.
thanks

I've bought lots of coconuts over time, eaten the yummi inside of the coconut myself and cleaned the shells for houses to both mice and gerbils :)

They are perfekt for houses since they can be boiled to get rid of bacteria and gerbils can't destroy them :lol:
how long do you boil them for ?

I don't know how destructive spiny mice is, but gerbils are pretty much destroying anything that is NOT glas/porcelain, metal or coconut :lol:

They have so much fun peeling every tiny fiber from the coconut :D
