miceMy pet mouse is scratching and itching herself. She does it so often that in little spots it starts to bleed. Do you now what to do?

That has happened to 3 of my pet mice, and they died from it. NOw another 1 of my mice seems to be getting it. I would suggest calling a vert-dont take your mouse to them. If your mouse is with other mice, they might be barbering her-where a bigger mouse will chew off her fur-you should observe them, and if necessary separate them. Make sure your mouse is getting the vitamins it needs, like oils from sunflower seeds. A great brand of food, which I fed my mice, it has all of the vitamins and nutrients necessary-is either the Animal Planet brand of food, or "Sunscription Vita Plus Mice, Rat, and Gerbil Food"
