Is it okay to feed my pet mice raw sunflower seeds?

Who’s That Girl? asked:


My critters love sunflower seeds, so I give them to them for treats, but the only unsalted ones I can find say that they are raw. They look just like roasted ones, just noat all salty. Is it okay to feed them raw sunflower seeds?

Also, I’m planning on mixing up my own feed for them, and I was debating whether or not to add flax seeds, since it wasn’t mentioned in many recipes, but they’re known to be very healthy for humans.

Rodent experts? Any opinions, information?

My mousies thank you in advance.
Thanks, Graham, but everyone knows mice prefer a good cabernet with their seeds.
