Live feeder mice, commonly used as a food source for various reptiles and carnivorous pets, are an essential part of the diet for many captive animals. These mice are typically bred in controlled environments to ensure they are healthy and free from diseases. Native to various regions around the world, these mice thrive in terrestrial habitats and are a staple in the diet of many snakes, lizards, and other carnivorous pets.

Feeder mice are known for their calm temperament, making them easy to handle and care for. They require a simple setup with adequate ventilation, a consistent temperature range of 65-75°F, and a humidity level of around 40-60%.

Regular cleaning and fresh water supply are crucial to maintain their health.
