How far do mice commonly travel from their nest in search of resources?

Mice typically travel around 10 to 25 feet from their nest when searching for food and resources. This distance allows them to find sufficient food while still remaining relatively close to their nest for safety. Mice are generally cautious creatures; they prefer to stay within a safe radius to avoid predators and other threats. The 10 to 25 feet range reflects a balance between their need for food and the instinctive behaviors that keep them safe from dangers in their environment. They are opportunistic feeders and will venture out to explore areas within this range that may offer food sources, but they do so while keeping the distance manageable for a quick return to their nest.

Other distance ranges provided in the options suggest either an overly cautious approach that limits their ability to find food or a stretch that would be unusual for their behavior, considering their natural instincts.
