Cannabil type problem
I really haven't had more than 2-3 cases of pinkies being eaten in the past two years. Things have been awesome with my mice, but this week a problem has come up thats really gross, and weird.
I have a cage of 1.3 going. They have around 12 "flea" stage mice with them. What I mean is they have some with eyes open, running and JUMPING when scared. That size....anyways a few of these babies have now had their scalps and/or skulls eaten off. These mice are still living mind you when I found them. This isn't just missing hair. I'd describe it better but I won't be that graphic.
I removed all with this horrible injury and put them down. I cleaned the cage and left maybe 6 with the parents, who were all doing well. I look in there today and see a couple more minus their scalps/top of skulls, yet alive.
What the hell is this? This is a young yet succesful colony who has given me two other healthy large batches of babies. It's only been hot in the mouse room for two days or else I'd say the heat but its not that. Its very disgusting and weird. They will all bee whacked off tonight but I am still curious.
