I bought 4 mice a couple of weeks ago, well one had babies who killed them all, and one died!

Now another female has showed signs of being ill, she was very sleepy and all shakey, for a few dyas so i had to 'get rid'

I guess the other mice prob have whatever disease it is too, does anyone have an ideas what it could be?

So i guess il have to wait n see how the other two get on, im so mad, got these from a pet shop, 1 was preg and they all have some kinda disease, imagine if il kids had them as pets? its not on really is it? grrrrr.

When i know if these mice are ok or not il get some more, but that wont be for ages, as i dont wana get new ones and have them die too.

lab mice next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i had one die the other day .they do just die and if they get to warm they drop like flys .keep them in a cool room and they should thrive
i have too many now i need to cull a few ...
my rats keep dropping babys like theres no tomorra LOL 15 pups this time lol .glad i started breeding tbh will save me shed loads

Yeah they are kept in our extention, its not v warm in there lol, so we dont go in there much, but they have plenty of bedding. I had mice when i was a kid, and never han any probs.

Your so lucky to have a load breeding, im gona wait and see how these go before i buy more.

Id wana get lab mice, do you know anywhere in the west mids i could get some? for in a few months time.

i bought mine from a pet shop in nuneaton (rats) and hobdays sells lab mice (coventry)

are you sure they have been drinking? when i was a kid i had one male that never worked out how to use a water bottle so i had to keep a water bowl in with him, likewise one of the females i had in with him wouldnt drink from the bowl so i had to keep a bottle in there too.. when i first realised what was going on they were very slow and still compared to normall and were shakey as anything.. poor we things..

If you want we can bring a few down next time we're in the area? We currently have 24 baby hairless mice (and one of our females is already pregnant again!!) so I'm sure we'll have a few spare for ya! (meow is my Owen by the way)
