her name is Mimmi, and she used to be the biggest mouse i own, but last week she started to lose weight after the death of her sister. ive taken all my mice to the vet and they gave me antibiotics that ive been feeding my mice for five days now, but mimmi keeps on losing weight. she's 24 g now and her bones are starting to show ( shes not a round bb anymore) do you have and tips on whta could help her gain more weight? should i go to the vet for the second time?

She is perhaps depressed at the loss of her sister. Try feeding her by hand, give her LOTS of attention. Feed her lots of high calorie treats. This was suggested in a previous post by @scaredymouse

walnuts, pecans, black oil sunflower seeds, a little bit of olive oil on some wheat bread/toast, cheese. Mice also love dried mealworms... wrote:
