What is going on with this mouse?

[Kymberli]

Feed off a possiby very ill, possibly infection ridden mouse to an animal?

Yup. Do you suppose they're never eaten in the wild?

It's not a puss oozing sore riddled tumor laden rodent. It's a breeder not doing well after dropping a litter. A poor breeder at that.

I'm most certainly no expert, so I'd say take what I say with a grain of salt. But others have told me, BPs can't catch infections/illnesses from mice/rats. Of course, maybe there are a few that can be transferred from species to species that am currently unaware of. So, maybe further input from others who breed feeders would help.
