I have had her since December she started balding in late Febuary she is a feedr mouse she lives with another female I am very concerned please help me!!!!!!

Answers:

make sure her female cage-mate isn't over grooming her. It could also possibly be mites or lice. Both can be very hard to see and sometimes only one pet is affected. You can treat mites and lice with ivermectin from your vet or it could possibly be available if you live somewhere that horse wormers are available although with such tiny creatures you have to be very cautious (a vet that specializes in small animals should be able to help). Good luck!

Is it a male. Maybe it is aging and going into a midlife crisis.

hes probably getting old

As mice get older, they can lose thier fur. Feeders are often inbred, and while some do live long, happy lives, most are with bad genetics and pass on. My 7 year old sister had a feeder named Lois who lived for a good year or two. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

There's a good chance that she has mites, which can be cured. She'll have to go to the vet and they can give her an injection of Ivermectin. Don't give up on her. It's very common and they can often get them from their bedding.

Could be age, could be heat.. probably nothing serious. If the skin looks healthy, and there's no mites, don't worry. If it gets bad, you may want to visit a vet.. but in fact, I doubt it'll be neccessary.

Oh stop whining and take her to the vet!

---

he has a puny brain he probably doesent even know who u are he is an animal and his life is based on survival which means FOOD and SHELTER he doesent care and all these toys for pets are nothing but amusment he is an animal and you did nothing wrong to him.

I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but that may be a disease. I know it's sad, but it's not for sure yet, so call your local veternarian or petco store and talk to them about it. :( I feel for you.
