Healthy weight of male mouse
by MooMouse Sun 04 Sep 2016, 6:04 pm
I'm just wondering what a *healthy* weight for a male mouse would be. Rogue weighs 2.3 ounces and is 6 months old, would he be considered overweight?

It depends on how he's built. A picture would help more, if you're worried.

He looks a little bit pudgy from that angle but nothing I would worry about.

Like Calla said, he definitely looks a bit pudgy. However, keep in mind, like people, some mice are just naturally chubby and remain perfectly healthy despite this. It's not something to worry about; he's not morbidly obese or anything.

As long as he has a healthy diet, and doesn't get too many treats - don't worry too much. Some mice are natural chubsters lol

How many grams is he? That's usually how mice are weighed. He looks in his 40s to me.

Haha, yes he is definitely a bit chubby. But he eats good parakeet food, has a mealworm once a week, and a vegetable 1-2 times per week (I want to increase this to 2-3 soon). He also has a few cheerios and some oats daily, so I don't think I'm overfeeding him really.
Cinnamon Pearl- He is 2.3 ounces, that is 65 grams, according to google

Oh, how cute!
My mouse, Eliza, is running on one of those purple wheels right now. I put a cloth-covered hair elastic between the back and the stand, but it still makes a clunky noise.

Haha, thanks!
I actually hope to get to PetCo sometime this week to pick up a 6.5in silent spinner in replace of the comfort wheel. It was fine when he was a small mouse but now he is too big for it!
The sound you are hearing could be the wheel itself wobbling a bit as the mouse runs. I used this trick: https://youtu.be/5CDCZk3chj4. It helps with a lot of the noise for me
