Here's one I have to keep!

Maybe momma mouse got too busy chewing up afterbirths and nailed it's tail. We have a breeder female rat here, Stubby, that's tailess (not genetic, occurred at or right after her birth). She moves her stub tail around just like a regular tailed rat would.

Pic of Stubby when she was little....

Awww, haha, that's too adorable!
Yeah, I'm figuring that's the same thing that happened to this one. Still too cute to feed off!

Ah so it is.. I don't know if there are manx mice.. but I do know that mice parents seem more apt to nibble on their babies than rats.
