AboutJedediah Expertise I can answer questions about exotic rodents (among others jirds, mice species, chinchillas, degus): how to keep them, what to feed them, how to make toys ect.
I cannot answer questions on breeding or medical questions. If your animal appears to be sick, you need to see a rodent vet as soon as possible, don`t waste time asking me.
Experience I keep, have kept or am planning to keep a number of exotic rodents and I am constantly doing research on many species to keep informed.
Question One of my female mice is approx 1 year old. She keeps scratching at her ear, and so it bleeds and she scratches it, and if it is dry anyway it starts to bleed again. Is there something like a disinfectant I can wipe her ear with to stop it irritating her?? Thank you for any advice.
Answer Dear Jan,
thank you for your question.
Please see a rodent vet with the mouse to find out why she keeps scratching. Mites or a fungal infection can cause that and it won't disappear by itself, you will need the help of a vet for that. www.rmca.org/Vets has a list of good rodent vets.
I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help to you
Jennifer
