What do rodents (mice) prey on?

They don't prey on any animals, they're herbivores, so only eat plant matter. And cheese!

animals are generally classed as carnivores (those that eat other animals), herbivores (those that eat plants) or omnivores (those that eat both plants and animals).\n\nThese classifications are not absolute.  Cats and wolves are considered carnivores, but will sometimes also eat plant material.  Hippos are considered herbivores, but have been known to eat meat too.\n\nWithin each classification, there are also different names to refer to specialities within each type.  For example, a carnivore could be called a piscivore (eats fish) or insectivore (eats insects), and a herbivore could be called a graminivore (eats grasses) or frugivore (eats fruit).

A fisher (Martes pennanti) is  a large  member of the weasel family, mustellidae.  It is dark brown and males may weigh a bit over 20 pounds (follow this link for a pic, http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/view.php?tid=3&did=65681 ). They prey on pretty much anything they can catch, that includes, everything from squirrels and rabbits, to porcupines (which it is able to catch and avoid the quills),  birds, eggs, pet cats... They will not attack people, they tend to disappear rather quickly in the presence of humans.

They vary as widely as the body plans of different mollusks, but basically there are both macrophagous (herbivores and predators) and microphagous (suspension feeders) forms.\n \n**Gasteropods (snails and slugs) are mainly herbivorous; they use their radula to scratch plant tissues. However, there are also predatory snails (with modified radula, or proboscis, or even a venom-injecting radula). There are also microphagous planktonic forms (pteropods).\n**Cephalopods (squids, octopi and their relatives) are predatory carnivores, they have a modified radula and a horny "beak" with which they eat different invertebrates and vertebrates.\n**Bivalves (clams, mussels, oysters, etc) are primarily microphagous or suspension (filter) feeders. They don't have a radula and rely on their modified gills for filtration. There are also some primitive detritivores among the bivalvians.\n**The chitons (Polyplacophora) are grazing herbivores (with  radula).\n**The Scaphopoda (tusk shells) capture small food items (particulate matter) with their tentacles (captacula).\n**Other less known mollusks include the caudofoveatans (these capture foraminiferans and other very small organisms from sediments), solenogasters (these eat corals) and monoplacophorans (with a radula, but not much is known about their ecology).

anything that is consumed by an organism that is used for metabolic processes within that organism. This includes grass, bacteria, sheep, anythin that can be eaten and energy obtained from it. some animals consume stones but that cant be called food because they dont digest it or use it to manufacture cells or anythin. they jus eat em to help them churn up plants in their gut.

Check for gnawing and/or droppings.  You usually don't have a mouse without little droppings, and they chew constantly.\n\nInstead of using a spring mouse trap -- and please don't consider a glue board, they are crueler than poison -- why not try a trap where you can release your visitor (if you have one) outside, away from your home?\n\nhttp://www.themousedepot.com/\n\n2/22 If you have an indoor pet you should not use poison of any kind, even though most rodent baits you buy will not kill a dog or cat if a pet eats them (at least, that's what the packets state).\n\nDo you live in the South?  Or an old residence?  Roaches can be extremely loud, and they are active at night.

Ringtail cats (which are not actually cats, but related to raccoons) are predators, and are most likely to be attracted to aromatic meat baits.\n\nCanned fish, fish based cat food, or a 50/50 mixture of peanut butter and honey or molasses (which is pretty much an all-purpose mammal bait) would probably work well.  I would recommend the cat food first, as it is easy to obtain and cheap, and if that doesn't work, try the other baits.\n\nI'm not sure what the local regulations are in Texas, but you might require a permit from your state Fish and Wildlife regulatory agency.  Many allow trapping freely on your own property, but may require written permission of the owners of whatever property you intend to release the animal onto.  Some agencies may require a nominal fee for trapping fur bearing varmints.

Blue Jays are omnivorous, meaning they eat everything.  About 75 percent of their diet is vegetable matter. This choice of diet is seasonal, as blue jays prefer insects, salamanders, tree frogs and even mice, according to some sources, during warm weather.  Before blight hit the American chestnut tree, chestnuts were considered the blue jay food of choice; however, they like just about any kind of nut and are especially fond of acorns.\n\nBlue Jays are aggressive, curious and large when compared to most of the other perching birds. Their cousins the ravens are the largest of the perching birds. If you've ever had a pair of jays nest near your house, you may have been attacked and pecked if you came too close to their nest. Young jays commonly collect brightly colored objects like bottle caps and pieces of aluminum foil and carry them about for awhile. Sometimes they try to peck open such objects, or they will use them as platforms and simply sit atop them until they get bored.

Given European Hedgehogs eat mostly slugs, snails and earthworms  as well as various other invertebrates not noted for clocking up many land-speed records, they just grab the prey with their teeth and chomp them quickly.However, they will go after frogs, snakes, birds eggs and nestlings.  They sniff `em out and eat `em before they get a chance to escape.When hunting snakes they will bite the snake multiple times in order to kill it.A hedgehog`s teeth are supprisingly sharp & vicious looking,I`ve seen many a happy hedgehog waddle around my garden snuffling up his prey at a relaxed walk.(Protein & gentle exercise at the same time...I bet they`re fit)\nHedgehogs can run quite fast if need be, and are supprisingly efficient swimmers too.They have been known to range up to 3 miles in one night.\n\nI can only speak for Great Britain, the European Hedgehog (erinaceus europaeus) is not threatened in my home country.(Unless you`re refering to their habit of curling up into a spiky ball when alarmed.)

Very few mammals are exclusively one or the other without ever crossing over the herbivore/omnivore fence.\n\nHippos in particular are known to partake in meat on occasion, even killing their own food.\n\nBut when you consider even the placid milk cow, calmly munching away on grass in a verdant field.  This would seem to be the very archetype of the herbivorous animal.  Then, think about that grass.  Just how many bugs are living in, on, around or near that grass?  Does the cow take the time to gingerly remove every ant before cropping those blades?  No.  Bessie out there probably consumes more insects every hour than any spider, and probably almost as many as bats are always lauded for consuming each night.  \n\nSure, two grams of insects a day doesn't sound like much when its consumed by a one ton cow, but it has the same impact on the insect population as that two gram bat diet does.\n\nThe vast majority of carnivores are also at least partially omnivorous as well.  The cats tend to be among the most carnivorous among land mammals, but even they will sometimes eat fruit or other vegetable matter.  They'll also sometimes swallow grass, but that's not really for nutrition.\n\nIn biology, there are very rarely absolute stamps like HERBIVORE or NOCTURNAL or MONOGAMOUS or MARINE that always apply, without exception in all circumstances.

Ew.  You have a rat.  Not sure about rats.  Dogs go though.

Sadly enough I believe that most cockroaches are flesh eating, even the most common of house invaders.  There was a case of a woman who had multiple roach feeding sites found on her body during the autopsy.  Also roaches have been found in peoples ears and also they bite on the ear drum. I know this is all pretty nasty but sometimes the truth is.

Don't birds eat them?

the large ones eat meat..like pieces of raw chicken and beef...the smaller ones just eat bugs the fly by and land on it

All mammals have taste buds...as do most other genus.\n\n\n\nLOL...look at some of the stuff homo sapiens eats around the world...raw monkey brains, beef testicles, snails, grasshoppers, ants, snakes, sea cucumbers, mollusks, fungus, scorpions...the list goes on and on.

The answer is none.\nSee, boy squirrels CAN chase tails, they don't do it though as they're all too obsessed with burying their nuts in places they then forget about.

Pretty much any carnivore will eat bats if they can catch them, that is why bats spend all day hiding in caves, hollow logs and so forth. Any bat that ventures out in daytime will be eaten within minutes.\n\nThe list of predtaors includes all the usual suspects such as cats, dogs, snakes, racoons, hawks, shrikes and so forth but also includes almost any carnivore you can imagine. I've seen bats being eaten by crocodiles, spiders, other bats and, as kawaii holwingwolves aid, by frogs. Bats ae incredibly small animals and are weak even for their size making them prey for almost anything at all that can catch them.\n\nAs for how bats get rabies, normally the disease is transmitted from bat to bat directly which removes any need for the animals to be attacked by another rbaid aniamnl and survive. In the real world the chances of any bat surviving an attack by a predtaor are effectively nil.\n\nYou should also realise that rabies is present in an extremely low proportion of bats. Bat biologist Edward Stashko of Oakton College, Des Plaines, Illinois, estimates that less than one-half of 1 percent of bats are rabid. He says many common misconceptions about bats, such as that they can carry rabies and infect humans without themselves being affected by the disease, grew out of faulty scientific research from the 30s, no doubt conducted at the behest of the rat lobby.\n\nAccording to a 1982 report in National Wildlife, only ten people in the U.S. and Canada have contracted rabies from bats in more than 30 years. Exclaims Dr. Stashko: "More people have died from lawn mowers than from bats. Statistically you have a better chance of being hit by lightning than being bitten by a rabid bat."\nAccording to the CDC, by far the highest incidence of rabies among animals tested occurs not in bats but in skunks.
