Does anyone know if mice will eat the perlite? I know they love
styrofoam, in some ways it's not that different.

Thanks, -E

I can't see mice eating perlite unless it has a taste they like. But,
just in case, got any hot chilli peppers, such as cayenne or habanero?
Just liquidise and paint the stuff on the outside of the sacks. Just
remember to wash your hands or wear gloves the next time you want some
perlite.

Mice wont eat pearlite any more than they eat Styrofoam, if they tried
they would get their guts blocked and they would die of starvation.
With Styrofoam they will chew into it exploring.
