It could also be worms... Is it white? I worm all new mice that come through my door as a precaution, as I have seen what happens with a mouse with worms and it isn't nice... If you think it could be worms, use a puppy wormer (I use worming syrup) and just squirt one pump into the water bottle.

Also, hamster food isn't ideal for mice, as they can get protien allergies. I feed my mice a mix of fruity rabbit food, rat nuggets, oats, and wildbird seed (with the occassional meal worm).

Thanks, i dont know what it is, it has gone in a bit more, i found out that a prolapse is something sticking out of its arsebut theres nothing coming ou (except poo) so it mght not be a prolapse.....

Worms...... would kitten worming "stuff" work? But all the poo has been fine, usually worms come out, and the animal is inactive, she is not, she is constantly running on the wheel with her partner!!!

They might have mis-sexed them, but theres still a male and female...

I got this hamster book, and if mice are any similar to hamsters, then whats happening to the mice is fine. When a boy mouse turns to a man mouse its bottom does start to stick out more, but thats for hasmters, maybe its for mice too?????

I always use the distance method to sex young mice who've already got fur (they're so easy when you can still see nipples *lol*). The males have a larger gap between "bits" and the females "bits" are pretty much touching.
