Why are my daughters mice dieing2007-11-24 22:19:12

So many factors - its really hard to say, but i'd start with first cleaning out the cage and using only newspaper or papertowels flat on the bottom until they are doing better then slowly add in bedding.

I think the pine is the problem. Use care fresh, or aspen bedding.

i think u bought them sick.

ask someone from the place u bought them from.

Try going to shredded corn cobs that you can buy at a pet store, for bedding. I know that cedar chips is not good for small animals, but I don't know about pine chips.

Is the food moldy? Is she using something toxic to clean the cage out? Try getting another cage, and put the males in this one. Maybe the males and females are fighting.

Do you have a cat that could be clawing at them through the cage? Do you have one of those sonic pest removers?

Because the mice had problems breathing, try using different bedding. Check their eyes and noses to see if they have a cold. They also could have been poisoned by something.

Bad food had gotten into my rabbit food before and killed them. Maybe the food that you bought isn't safe for them to eat.

I hope that you figure out what is killing them.

okay, well first of all, pheobe needs to calm down. they wont die with in a matter of minutes. the problem is the pine shavings. rodents can not live in pine or cedar shavings. it (most of the time) will make them sick and die. especially small rodents (mice, hampsters, girbels). you need to get aspen shavings. aspen is completely safe for them.
