Hey guys.
Got a mouse from a different rep shop to my usual yesterday. They seemed fine until I looked in later on to check that they'd eaten and saw that the mouse had blown up like a balloon!  It was just the one mouse, it looked normal while frozen but after it had thawed it stank like hell and looked like it was gonna explode. Thankfully, Rudi didn't touch it. But WHAT ON EARTH??! Last time I checked, mice don't just blow up like that... This happened to anyone else?? Why's it happened? |

it will be the waste gas that the bacteria that's eating the mouses insides produce. Sounds like it was not so fresh!
