How fast should mice breathe?
How fast should mice breathe?

I'm not used to rodent breathing, so I'm curious! It looks like they breathe very fast. I'm assuming that's normal, but now I wonder; how do you know when the breathing is too fast?

I'm curious too. After having lots of sick mice, I've pretty much forgotten what's normal and what's not.

I heard that a mouse's heart beats 700 times a minute, so I'm guessing their breathing should be crazy fast too.
I don't think you should worry about how fast they breathe, rather what they look like when they're breathing (i.e. labored breathing signs) and whether they make sounds when they breathe. I hold my mice up to my ear when I'm doing a health check hehe.
