perlite and mice

Perlite is a volcanic glass, bloated at high temperatures, like lightweight aggregate (Leca). I would be surprised if mice ate it, but you never can tell with mice. The paper sacks themselves are likely to be more nourishing and tasty, so you still might get holes where the perlite runs out all over the floor! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlite Right, I do know it's not _actually_ styrofoam! But as you say, you can never tell with mice, mine do tend to consume just about everything, except coal, never known them to get into that. The paper is I suppose as much or more of a problem as the perlite itself: I've too much of it for them to make a real dent, but it is hard to clean up. I'll put it on a palette and hope, I suppose, or try Jeff's idea. Thanks, -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
