Anyone have experience with using livestock mineral supplement blocks?

We have a colony set up with just two does currently but looking to ramp up and want to make sure they don't loose out on important minerals harder to get from hay.
I know it's important to avoid high salt and calcium content present in horse and cattle blocks, but the DuMOR Sheep/Goat one seems like the best as it only has 10-12% salt and 3-4% calcium and no copper.
Has anyone else tried placing in a lick block like this to good results?

me and my fiance just moved into a farmhouse that my parents are planning to renovate in the next year or so, and while we were deep cleaning it on move-in we saw some mouse droppings but they all looked dated.

fast forward a month, they’re back. Frequent droppings on counters and especially in oven pan drawer.

i pull out the oven to discover a giant friggin pile of hollow acorns, cherry pits, and so much damn mouse dung. Bigger problem is that they’re getting there from a ~.5-.75in little gap under the counters, because the cabinets were terribly designed with a cavity along the entire bottom along with an opening in the wall under the sink from plumbing fixes that now has all the surrounding insulation chewed out, and then a cut out down into the cavity that’s about 3” tall and a square foot wide.

I’m going to do my best to probably pull off the toe kick and try to kill any nests down there but it’s near impossible to close off the entrance point thanks to the new plumbing in the middle of it all.

Can’t do poison or many wood traps because I have cats that open cabinets
