Mice will drink water if it is available but can survive on food with a moisture content of just 15%. Omnivorous, mice will eat almost anything they can find.
Although they appear big mice are very capable of squeezing through very small cracks within walls, it is said that a mouse can fit through a hole as small as 1cm. They are also good climbers so although the most common entry points are around shin height, they can enter through gaps in facias as well.
