A few weeks ago I got a mouse from the pet store who was being sold as a feeder. I bought him as a breeder so I can breed my own mice to feed my snakes. I honestly don't know how old he is but he seems to be full grown. Since I've got him he's sat at a steady 24 grams.
So today I was cleaning his tank and I noticed some red squishy and slightly sticky red things in his tank. They were about the size of a dime and sort of resembled fruit, like grapes, that we're slowly rotting. The best way I can describe it is that it looked like a dried appercot. Except red and really small. I found 3 in his tank and I can't figure out what they could be. I don't feed him fruit so that can't be it.
I dont know exactly what kind of mouse he is. I did some research and I figured he's either a recessive yellow or a lethal yellow. I also read that recessive yellows are known for devolving tumors. Could that have something to do with it?
i posted this as soon as a noticed those things so I haven't yet noticed if he has any behavorial changes.
If you know what this is please let me know!
