Hey everyone,new user to this site(but not to bird channel) and semi new mouse owner.
I had fosterd a mouse for 2 years till he died,but didnt know they could get lice!
i just recently (yesterday) got a new mouse from petsmart,i had got him with a cagemate but the cagemate attacked him without mercy and we had to take him back,we kept the (now) hurt mousie,but hes doing ok,just has a scabbed foot,and a small scab on his tail and ear (poor sniffles!)
anyway i read they could get lice,and this scares me. i have a few questions on it.
1.how do they get it?
2.how do i know if he has it
3.he wouldnt come home with it,right?
4.can he pass it to our cat,or us?
and any info you can give!
thank you!

I am not a vet or expert on health care for animals. I can pass your questions on to a expert if you would like me to?

Also, lice can cause hair loss in mice. You could ask an expert or ask a vet who works with mice and other rodents. Hope this helps!
