I bought my fancy white mouse two days ago...it was really playful and energetic. The this morning I went to see it and it was barely moving...what could be wrong? What can I do?
Answers:
These little guys can get upper resp. infections easily. The absolute BEST thing you can do for him is take him to the vet. Depending on where you got him, you may be able to return him and let them take care of him. He might need antibiotics and such.
What kind of bedding is he on? They can also have allergic reactions to cedar and pine bedding. If you are using either of those get him out of it now. Put him on paper towels until you can get him proper bedding. Aspen or Carefresh would be the best.
See if he will eat some pumpkin mix (VERY small amount) or some plain yogurt. That may help him go to the bathroom. Has he been eating? Also, mouse poop is VERY small and you might just not be seeing it.
Good luck! I hope everything turns out ok.
it could be VERY sick. take her to the vet.
It seems like its time for SUPER VET. I would take it to the vet it doesn't seem well. It could be constipated. Dont feed Mice cheese there allergic!

First of all, what you need to do it put him in a small cage with a heating pad turned on LOW underneath the cage, but only underneath part, so he can crawl away if he gets too hot. next, put some really comfy bedding in, such a toilet paper. then, try to feed him some treats, and baby food helps (through a tiny syringe) next, the most important part CALL A VET. they will not charge you, and if you call there and they dont really want to talk to you, then call somewhere else, because if they tell you that they dont know whats wrong, or something else, they probably just want you to come in. You should only listen to a vet if you can tell that he/she loves animals and just wants to help., not just to earn money.
GOOD LUCK! HOPE HE GETS BETTER SOON! %26lt;3%26lt;3%26lt;3
Have you been feeding her regularly?? Have you been changing her water regularly...take her to the vet to see whats wrong.
Firstly mice are nocturnal, so in the mornings they are usually sleeping. When they are disrupted, their sleep patterns will be funny for a while. Your mouse was probably just getting used to its new environment for the first couple of days. My mice are extra energetic after i clean their cage and rearrange their toys, the love exploring.
If your mouse is not more alert and playful at night (sometimes they only want to come out really late, so monitor it for a few days) then there may be a more serious problem.
also with the pooping issue, it has only been two days so there will not be much and they are very small. if you use shredded paper or other deep beddings, the excrement will fall to the bottom and you won't see much. if u are worried, take a careful look at the bottom of the bedding.
make sure your mouse is eating and drinking (if using a bottle, check it regularly by touching the nozzle with a clean finger, a little water should come out) and if your mouse gets worse, think about calling a vet.
