Do mice drool?

Question

im doing an experiment and i would like to know if mice actaully drool?

Answer 1

Mice have saliva, so it is possible for them to "drool". I have many mice, but have never seen them "drooling".

Quote from the "louisemurray.com" site:
"We could not swallow our food without it, sing or even whistle. Cats wash with it, and humans swallow up to a litre a day. It can be antibacterial and mice heal their wounds with it. Spit, saliva, drool, mucus, whatever you call it, we cannot do without it."

Answer 2

Seeing as to how they are mammals and do have a digestive system including saliva, I would say yes, mice do actually drool.

Answer 3

Yes they can - although it is usually associated with a tooth problem than with salivating because they can sniff something tasty. Sometimes, misaligned or other problems with their teeth means that the tongue does not sit correctly in the mouth - causing them to dribble or 'drool'. In these circumstances, attention from a vet is required otherwise eating difficulties occur.

Answer 4

I've never seen them actually drool; but they do prodice saliva.

Answer 7

Mice dribble urine everywhere they go. They track their movements by laying a trail this way. It's not dribble it's pee.
