Do mice eat other mice?

Best Answers

When babies are cannibalized, they are usually killed by adults beforehand. Cannibalism of dead adults occurs under conditions of starvation and overcrowding. read more

Mice eat other mice because they are food/nutrition, simple as that. I just caught a mouse last night and the head in the trap was eaten with fur and flesh bits strewn about. All the bait was eaten up too. read more
