General Information on Deer Mouse
The deer mouse prefers to feed on seeds, but it will also feed on insects. Deer mice that are not in captivity can cause serious structural damage, such as gnawing wood, electrical wires on computers and telephones. Deer mice can also transmit many diseases to humans by contaminating food or from bites.
The female has litters of 3 to 5 young, up to 4 times per year. When in captivity, it can live up to 8 years. Otherwise, it does not normally exceed 2 years due to disease, starvation or predators.
