Do mice eat cheese? Is that a natural thing they evolved to eat? Would be weird because cheese is man-made right?

Cheese isn't good for mice. Dairy products in general aren't good for most animals.

Mice will eat mostly anything if given the chance though

"Mice do not have a special appetite for cheese, and will eat it only for lack of better options; they actually favor sweet, sugary foods. The myth may have come from the fact that before the advent of refrigeration, cheese was usually stored outside and was therefore an easy food for mice to reach."

Most adult humans can't eat cheese. Lactose intolerance and all.

Cheese has low levels of lactose, on account of, you know, the bacteria eating it, which is what makes it cheese.

These guys would be out of business.

"Japan's consumption and production however increased significantly after World War II and is now the world's third biggest importer of cheese"

And all.
