Noises of my Mouse

Question
Hi Panya,

I have 2 female fancy mice! and i got them in September 2008 so i do think they are about 4-6 months old.

One of them is making all these Weiod Noises.
It is quite upseting to hear her make noises what are unusual. it is like a guinea pig talk with clicking and clucking sound! She is running around and playing finely with her best friend.or shall i say best sister. she does it soon as she wakes up till soon as she sleeps even when i am not playing with her.

She is eating and drinking and realeasing feaces finely. altho they seem slightly wet.
but it has always been like that.

if you can email me back that will be great. and i can email you her sound if it is still going on!

Please Reply ASAP!

Jason. Ps her fur is still shiney which i think that is a indication she is healthy.

Answer
It sounds like you are doing a great job. The noise you are describing is a happy noise. Mice make this noise when they are content, some may describe it as chattering or even singing. A shiny coat is a good indicator she is healthy so there's nothing to worry about.

The faeces may be wet because shes eating plenty of greens. If she gets very runny cut back on the fresh fruit and veg.

Please feel free to ask any more questions.
