How much food should I feed my fish?
Dried flakes provide a balanced diet, and fresh foods such as live brine shrimp offer variety. It’s important not to overfeed as excess food falls to the bottom of the tank and spoils, which reduces the water quality. It is best to feed several small meals daily, just enough so the fish eat everything before falling to the bottom.
Is it okay to feed our bird fruit?
The Humane Society recommends pelleted food specific for your bird’s species as a seed-only diet does not always provide optimum nutrition, and can be messy. Fresh veggies and fruits should be offered daily. Dark, leafy greens are packed with vitamins, and many birds also enjoy carrots and broccoli. Apples, pears, melon and kiwi are often loved. Take care to remove any uneaten food after a couple of hours. Items to avoid are avocado, cherry pits, rhubarb or apple seeds.

Is it okay to feed my pet mouse human food?
Mice do well on a good commercial rodent food, either in block or pellet form. Look for a formula that contains at least 16 percent protein and 18 percent fiber, and not more than 4 percent fat. The Humane Society recommends very small amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables daily as treats. Peas, broccoli, carrots, apples and bananas are good but refrain from cabbage, chocolate, corn, candy, junk food, peanuts, uncooked beans or onions.
