    Sorry guys.

    Got a Carbon Monoxide checker on Friday.
    Nothing in the boiler cupboard.
    Nothing on top of the mouse cage.

    Mice now burried in an overly-decorated tissue box.

    My guess is the thing that killed the first mouse also killed the second.

    Just out of interest, I got the timings wrong. It was about 14 hours (overnight) between them last being seen alive and first being seen dead.
  • Maybe an infection, maybe something they ate - were they fed anything different to normal? Any treats or anything? Was it a new bag of food? Did they have anything different in their bedding that they may have chewed and ingested?
