Bald mice!!!

[betwilm]

Is it common for pet mice to lose their hair? Mine has been in several fights with its' 'roommate' and it has scars on its' back. I wonder if this has anything to do with losing its' hair? I've phoned the Veterinary surgery, and they told me to bathe the mouse with cotton wool in salt water. I've tried it, but to no avail!! <3D---

You don't say how old your mouse is but as mice get older they can lose their hair. I would suggest that if it is no better then you now take him in to see the Vet.

Thank you WendyW. A decent answer at last, unlike the pathetic one which answerbank kindly removed. (There are some very sad people about!) Anyway, thanks again, Nicola Jane & Betwilm : )
