QuestionI would like to set up a mini "ecosystem" for my mice (I would provide water, of course). I have two female mice in a screen-top glass terrarium. How would I go about doing this? What edible plants could I use that are safe and won't be uprooted or completely destroyed by them? Is simple potting soil okay to use?
Answeri wouldnt do this. soil can carry germs and it would be much harder to clean out. however you can give them small amounts of grass/cress and wheat which they would eat in the wild. It is more hygenic keeping them on wood shavings or wooden cat litter.
There is a more natural bedding instead of wood shavings called hempcore or aubeose or carefresh. it is made from a rainforest plant.
add treated wood from fish and aquarium shops to make it more natural and hide their food in places to make them search for food
