Lionheart: Yes harvest mice do come out during the day, they're always out and about. They eat a varied seed and grain mix as a staple and will take fresh foods much the same as fancy mice (e.g. fruit/veg, cooked meat such as chicken, boiled potato, bread, even biscuit crumbs and breakfast cereals). I have found them very easy to keep although I have kept rodents for quite a few years now. I think the key is the right environment and of course diet - as long as you don't overcrowd them and keep them in the correct groupings they should be fine. I have some available if you are still interested. You may also want to read this: www.fancymice.info/harvestmice.html

That looks really good - can I ask what you have in there? Are they stripped corn stalks? What are the leaves?
