Eating habits and damage
House Mouse will eat anything but is particular about fruits, grains, and seeds. They are also omnivorous hence can eat both plants and meat. However a common house mouse will eat anything that it finds edible. The house mouse will also chew wires, insulation, wood work, furniture, electric panels and drywall to cause substantial property and structural damage. Mice have two incisor teeth that grow perennially and mice use them to cut, shred, rip and gnaw household materials which significantly help stunt the growth of the teeth. If they are not able to stop the growth of the teeth they will perish. Mice take about two dozen meals a day which describes why your food stock depletes fast.
