Tips on attracting rodents for my dog to eat?

My ex-husband was a complete slob. He was the type to eat half of a bag of potato chips, fall asleep on the couch, and spill them all over the floor. As you can imagine, in the five years we lived together before I kicked his sorry ass to the curb, we got a ton of mice. So many mice, in fact, that we had to stop buying dog food because our dog was eating so many mice that any more food would make him obese.

Well, now that my husband is out, the mouse rate has dropped to zero. And my dog is so used to eating mice that he refuses to eat puppy chow unless he is driven to desperation by hunger. I've been buying pet mice at the pet store for the little guy to eat, but it's just not sustainable financially.

That brings me to this post. I know this is an odd ask, but are there any tips on how to attract mice? I've tried everything, from spilling chips all over the house to spraying cheese spray all over the floor. Nothing is working. Is there a certain food or chemical that mice can't resist? Or should I just remarry my husband and put up with his endless "business trips" and "overtime work"?

At this point your dog appears to have an identity crisis and thinks he's a cat.

Hmmm. What about spreading potato chips all over the floor?

mice are super easy to breed. Buy a couple cages and exercise wheels and grow your own.

This is either an awesome troll post, or tragically dumb reality.

Well, judging by OPs other posts and even their user name, I'm pretty sure it isn't.

You can't feed your dog mice. It's dangerous. Mice can and usually do carry disease and I wouldn't be surprised if your dog already has worms. Mice walk through literal shit and also garbage, mold, etc. This is such a disgusting post borderlines on animal cruelty. Jesus Christ. Clean your house and put normal dog food out for your dog. Eventually he'll eat it. Just like when you have a dog that begs for scraps at the dinner table like he's starving to death, if you stop giving him scraps when he begs hell eventually walk away and eat his own food.

I think you’re thinking of rats. I’m talking about mice. According to my niece who wants to be a vet, it’s perfectly fine

I googled it for you-

"Whilst catching a mouse or a rat may be a natural activity for cats and in some cases dogs, eating rodents can have undesirable consequences. Dangers include an infection of intestinal worms and/or toxoplasmosis as well as the possibility of suffering from secondary rat bait poisoning. "

Tell your niece to study up.

Do you really think this makes her an authority on the subject?

Mice live in their own shit. It's an indisputable fact. Your dog has been eating mouse shit.
