I have a serious issue...Duke and I moved to an apartment where I have been told that by me leaving Duke's food out during the day that it attracts mice???
I have been leaving his food out all day since the first day I got him because he is so little that not having food during the day while I go to work is just not a good idea to me.
I've spotted droppings here and there and closed up as many holes as I can find but really don't want our landlord to blame it on me leaving his food out. I have traps that are safe for pets and Duke is doing well with them around.
Even if I buy the elevated shelves for his food/water, I'm afraid that the mice might still be able to climb up. I've gotten over my fear of the crazy rodents (sorry to those who have them as pets) but I'm more concerned about how Duke might have a run in with one of them or that they might poison his food.
Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated.
