I was thinking about mice farms. Manufacturers could set that up and the mice would quickly grow to adulthood. They'd require little space too if they were stacked high shelf-by-shelf. Do it! You can go on Shark Tank and Bonita and I will be customers.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought of this. I actually mentioned it in another thread. Haha. I'd totally buy it too. It's truly their natural diet ... more so than chicken no?Alright, I'll admit that as a started reading this thread, I started thinking that pet companies should make mice wet food. Then, I read your post. I actually would buy mice wet food if it was sanitary and the mice weren't given chemicals. Maybe I'm in the minority? I would just want it as prepared wet food. Not an actual dead mouse, which I think my cat might just stare at and possibly bat around even though she was a stray/feral.
Definitely! More so than duck, beef, lamb, venison, etc.
I read in a book the reason there are no mice cats foods is pe4 food companies are using human food leftovers - as in, if a chicken is not suitable for people to eat they give it to pets. People do not eat mice.
I eat at least 3 mice a day
I also think people would not buy it. Well cat nutrition obsessed people such as myself might. But the " average" person would be less likely to. It's a lot less repulsive getting chicken out of a can than it is mouse meat... pet food companies market to people not cats.There are tons of mouse/rat farms. They sell them to reptile owners, but those are unprocessed, just frozen dead mice/rats, fed whole.
Why not make a canned cat food out of mice/rats? Perhaps the processing would be too labor-intensive. Can you imagine gutting and skinning a zillion little mice?!
Yeah, I thought of that, but figured some manufacturing genius could figure out a machine to do it. Maybe some day someone will decide to try it. I'd love to feed mice wet food to my cat.There are tons of mouse/rat farms. They sell them to reptile owners, but those are unprocessed, just frozen dead mice/rats, fed whole.

Rats you say ? Now that’s gross.Lol, yeah, they have a roasted whole chicken food, that's what the can looks like. Someone must have photoshopped "mouse" on it. That's not what a roasted whole mouse would look like anyway
Mice are super smelly. I wouldn't raise mice for that reason. Although I don't remember the Hare Today ground mouse smelling especially mousy. But rats aren't as bad. And they're bigger too.
I don’t know if I could bring myself to buy rat cat food. Just the thought 
Now I have to go beg my boss for my job back .... 
Well there goes my new business! Smelly mice, gross rats!? YOU ARE WHY WE DONT HAVE MICE FLAVORED CAT FOOD.
We could still make it work. How about rat chicken pate and shredded mouse and chicken in rat gravy.? Mix it up a little make it less smelly 
I think you have your answer right there in "stink"!
I know cats will not eat foods that stink. Daisy sniffs a new food before deciding if it is edible.
