I use pig pellets mainly, supplemented with porridge oats, shredded wheat, a few cat biscuits, bits of veg and household scraps.

Is Dog biscuit ok to feed mice then? I use Gusto autumn years for my Dogs, would this be ok to give to my mice? Only picked the mice up yesterday so any help would be very much appreciated. Have been giving them Sow pellets (got a little bit with them) & rabbit & guinea pig mix as i already have this as i have these.

There's a couple of places that i think may sell them as they sell all sorts of feed. Kitknocks Farm near Botley, Botley Mill at Botley & possibly Longacre feeds near Botley (i know i always have to travel to get this sort of thing as Pompey has nowhere that sells animal feed ).
