House mice are eaten by a wide variety of small predators throughout the world, including Felis silvestris, Vulpes vulpes, Mustela, Mustela, Herpestidae, large Squamata, Squamata, Accipitridae, Falconidae, and Strigiformes. House mice try to avoid predation by keeping out of the open and by being fast. They are also capable of reproducing very rapidly, which means that populations can recover quickly from predation.
