What animals eat mice?

Animals that eat mice include birds, cats, foxes and wild dogs, among others. Mice live in burrows that help to protect them from potential predators.

Where mice live dictate what animals prey on them. Mice live in nearly all types of terrain in every country. They are found in grasslands, forests and manmade structures, and they burrow underground when living in the wild.

Mice have large appetites and eat up to 20 times daily. They also prey on other mice if there is no other food around. They will eat nearly anything, but they are omnivorous and prefer grains, seeds and fruits.
