Some strains of mice just have longer hair compared to most mice, much like long-hair and short-hair cats. It's genetic thing, not worrisome. In fact, many mouse owners and breeders like having long-hair mice, because they're very pretty.
The tail is the only part of a mouse body that contains a bone if it doesn't have the bone it wont be able to stand up. Its like a mouse's foundation
Your mouse has necrosis. This is either from the mouse biting its tail, or more probable, someone pinched its tail. Sometimes it kills the mouse, other times it drops off and the mouse will be fine.
Our mouse had a purple tail (just on the end, about 1-2") turning black and falling off, due to a fight with another mouse that damaged the tail and caused lack of blood supply. The vet gave both oral and topical antibiotics. He also told us that IF it spread to the base of tail, that was the spinal cord and mouse would need to be euthanized. (If that happens, the mouse would die in a lot of pain and it can't be fixed.) We had a happy ending: the damaged end of the tail fell off, everything else healed, and the mouse continues to live a happy and active life......in a separate cage! You need to get YOUR mouse to a vet for some antibiotics!
If its in the field, its not a house mouse.
It was nicknamed the mouse because the tail came out the end.
A field mouse and a house mouse are both the same thing, except the field mouse lives in the field and the house mouse lives in homes. Their scientific name is mus musculus.
The mouse's tail was very long.
... No
a rat
whatever type of tail it wants to.Answer: When a dominant gene is present, it will always be expressed. The only time a recessive gene is expressed is when no dominant gene is present. Therefore, the mouse in question will have a long tail.
No, "mice's tail" is not correct because "mice" is the plural form of "mouse." The correct possessive form would depend on the intended meaning. If referring to the tail of one mouse, it should be "mouse's tail," and if referring to the tails of multiple mice, it should be "mice's tails."
Bruises on a mouse tail can be caused by an injury, illness, or may be self-inflicted. Check the cage for any areas where the tail may get caught or be accessible to other pets, including cage mates, and small children. Observe the mouse for chewing. Make sure the mouse is handled gently and never by the tail. If no cause can be found and the bruising continues, have the mouse checked out by your vet.
