This mouse is about 3 or 4 months old, and she lives with 3 other females. I know she's not pregnant, but she sure looks like it. She used to be the littlest one, but now she's the chubbiest. She still likes running on the wheel and being active. She eats what all the other mice eat, but they're at a healthy weight, while she's quite fat. What can I do to help her slim down? I want her to be at a healthy weight like her cage mates. Also, how do I know that nothing is seriously wrong with her, like a tumor or something? Thanks for your help!

Take the mouse to the vet for a checkup. It it's healthy take it for a walk to excercise her.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

Couldn't it be a hyperactive thyroid? I'm not positive, but cats and people can get it. So why couldn't a mouse? The vet can prescribe medication to slow down thyroid function, but I can almost bet it is probably expensive. They wanted $100 dollars a month for my cat's hypoactive thyroid. I can only imagine what it would take for one that is hyperactive!

Never mind the wheel, get her a treadmill!
