today, when i went to feed my boa i found the mouse acting peculiar. he was laying on his back looking up at me with another mouse standing next to him. he had peed next to his body.

he managed to get to his feet and crawl around only on three legs. one leg seemed to be inoperable. then, as if he had parasites, he started having minor convulsions and laid back down on his side. he continued to have these body twitches for about 6 minutes before taking his last breath.

what does that sound like to you?

i am concerned if the mouse i got from the local pet store has tainted mice...and if the other two mice i have here right now are tainted as well. yes, i feed live, not frozen thawed...which would resolve this matter.

inside the mouse tank i had pretzels, crackers, cornflakes and a big thing of fresh water. i purchased the mice two days ago from the pet store. the other mice are acting healthy.
