(1) Teeth: The front teeth of rats and mice are constantly growing, and sometimes the teeth are too long, which will make it impossible to eat. You can cut your own teeth at this time. Please cut your teeth with small animals. If you are afraid to cut your teeth, you can take it to a doctor to cut your teeth.
(2) Incense gland: only male rats have it. In the middle of the abdomen, there is a yellow thing, which is the fragrant gland. When the male rats are in estrus, the smell here will be particularly strong. Sometimes the fragrant glands will accumulate too much. Remember to wipe them regularly with hydrogen peroxide mixed with saline 1: 10!
(3) Eyes: If rats and mice are healthy, their eyes should be very bright and shiny. If they are red, oily or have gums, then pay attention.
(4) poop: the poop of rats and mice should be slightly hard, the size of rice grains, black and tasteless. Sometimes it turns green, red, etc. Don't be too nervous at this time. Please think back, is there green or red feed in the mouse's feed? If so, it is normal for the stool to turn green. If there is soft stool or bad smell, there is a danger of diarrhea, which is a fatal disease of rats.
(5) Cheek pouch: Sometimes you should pay attention to whether the things in the cheek pouch are finished. Please don't give any more food if you haven't finished eating. If the food goes bad and stinks in the cheek pouch, it will easily lead to inflammation of the cheek pouch. Regularly pay attention to whether the cheek pouch smells of food corruption, and regularly help him remove the food in the cheek pouch, adjust the water with salt water in the way of 1: 3, and put a feeding syringe into the cheek pouch for washing.
(6) coat color: the fur of rats is usually soft and shiny. If there is depilation, please pay attention to whether it is allergic.
(7) Body temperature: Generally, touching the body temperature of rats and mice with hands is slightly higher than our body temperature, but the feeling is not obvious. If you obviously feel that the mouse's body temperature is too high, it is likely to be a precursor to heatstroke!
