11 Week old mice - green droppings Empty 11 Week old mice - green droppings

Hi,

I have recienrtlly had my friends move in and they got some mice when they saw how cute Sparky was - 11 week old sisters.

However I have noticed their droppings are really green - unfortunately they were from a pet shop.

Is this anything to worry about?

How long have they had them? Are the poos otherwise normal or loose?

If they are of a normal consistency I wouldn't worry. It could just be something from their diet or even food coloring if they have or have recently had access to certain types of colored toys. Molly, Sally, and Sarah all had green poops when I first got them because the pet store I got them from gave their mice these green rice pops to chew on.

If the poops are loose, however, that would be cause for concern.

The color alone is nothing to worry about, they use all kinds of funky dyes in the cheap food they give them. But if they have a strong odor or are loose, that would be cause for concern.
