How long do mice live?

What do rodents eat?
Rodents are omnivorous and mice and rats are not fussy eaters. In the wild, they will typically eat seed, grains and fruit, but if the rodents are in your home, they will gnaw away at almost anything they can find. Dry foods like cereals are easy targets, but both rats and mice will be indiscriminate when it comes to sustenance. Don’t be surprised to see evidence of rodents around bins and waste food – this is a common factor in the initial attraction of mice and rats to your home in the first place.
How many babies do rodents have?
Both rat and mouse litters can be large, typically averaging around 5-8 babies per litter for mice, and 6-11 for rats. These figures can be larger, stretching to 15 and 20 in some cases, and this will quickly add up with multiple litters a year due to a short gestation period of 21-24 days. Because of this, rodent infestations can be extensive and persistent.
