Dead Mouse :-(

Found a dead mouse in Pickle's run this morning (which he has access to overnight).

Questions are: did Pickle kill it? If not, why would it be dead in the run? Could Pickle catch any nasties from this dead mouse? Diseases/fleas etc?

I had the mouse removed but is there anything else I should of done, ie disinfect etc?

I am at work now, so cant do anything till after 5pm today.
 
Sorry to say he probably killed it. :( I found one dismembered in the sleeping compartment when Doris was nesting. It must have wandered in and she protected her imaginary babies. She literally tore it's head off. :shock: They can be quite vicious about their territory.

He is unlikely to catch anything from it. Don't worry :)
 
I would probably disinfect too, just in case.

I'm not usre whether mice can carry fleas, if they can, it is probably worth de-fleaing just in case.
