Question
Hello. I have a 15 month old white mouse who has suddenly started making strange noises(?loud squeaking with rattling her teeth) continuously. Earlier on she would only make an occasional squeak.Nowdays she is no longer playful and tries to climb back to her place.Please let me know if u have any idea what is wrong?

Answer
Dear Kusha,

Your mouse is definitely sick. She needs to go to the vet right away for antibiotics. Because mice are prey animals, they instinctively hide illness; so when they show it, they are very sick.

Best of luck to her.

squeaks,
