Content: Wolves also frequently eat mice, and often seek them out as a food source during winter when larger prey is difficult to find. Domestic dogs, especially terrier types which were bred to hunt weasels, foxes and rats, are known to eat mice if given the opportunity and in some cases are trained to provide pest control. Birds
Mice are a vital source of nourishment for birds of prey like owls, hawks and eagles. Crows, blue jays and heron also include mice in their diet. Barn owls are one of the top avian mice predators, with a single family capable of catching and devouring a dozen mice every night, giving them an important role in agricultural areas where mice can damage crops and stored grain. Snakes
Snakes play a major role in controlling mice population since mice play a central role in the diet of many species of snakes around the globe. Because snakes can unhinge their jaws to swallow mice, both large and small snakes rely on them for sustenance. Under natural conditions, when the mouse population increases, so does the snake population; but in some areas too many snakes have been killed by humans, skewing the balance between prey and predator, resulting in mouse overpopulation. Humans
While most people in North America would never dream of eating a mouse except in dire circumstances, in some cultures mice are part of a regular diet or are considered a delicacy.
