blind?

Question
Hi
I got a pet mouse today and i think hes blind. Can you please tell me the signs of a blind mouse

Answer
Fortunately blindness isn't much of a problem in mice. They have very poor eyesight to begin with so losing it completely is not as serious as it is with humans.

Blind eyes have an opaque look to them. It is less obvious in pink eyes. Healthy eyes should be shiny (more so in black eyes).

Look at his cage mate and compare eyes. Assuming they are related (they usually are at pet shops) the chances are they won't be blind unless its a genetic deformity.

If you are still not sure you can send me a picture and describe his behaviour to me. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
