What might a very old mousie need in his diet that the young mousie might
not need as much?

I am also interested in any responses to this question. I have two older
mice now, one just over a year and the other approaching 2. I would imagine
they probably need the same good nutrition (I give a prepared mouse mix plus
lab block, dry oats, some fruits, veggies, sometimes fresh bread etc) but
probably not too much fat, which would be lots of sunflower seeds, anything
fatty or sugary. Sometimes my older mice can seem a little feeble and it's
hard to discipline myself not to give them too many treats that they love so
much.

Yeah
I also try to think of most things old people might need in their diet,
since mice suffer a lot of the same problems...
Perhaps more calcium would be one of those things.

Anyone else have any insight into this?
