Mouse health – supplements, skin & parasites (colored mice)
Mouse health – support for well-being, resistance & care
Mice (colored mice) are small, active animals that can sometimes hide symptoms for a long time. That's precisely why it's helpful to be able to quickly respond with the right foundation at home: support for skin and coat, parasites/pests, immunity, and digestion. In this category, you'll find a carefully selected range of mouse health products – practical, well-organized, and chosen with safety and daily use in mind. Always combine health with a strong foundation: dust-free bedding , good mouse food , and always fresh water in bottles and water bowls .
Are you experiencing itching, lethargy, or a flustered feeling? Then check your basics: a clean cage, low dust levels, and good food. See mouse information for more background information and practical tips.
A fresh environment is a huge benefit to well-being. Combine this with mouse care and choose bedding that's suitable for sensitive airways: mouse bedding .
Support works best when everything is right: food, water, rest, and challenge. Combine this with play and foraging , and plenty of hiding places like mouse houses .
Choosing mouse health – quick selection guide
First, select by situation (what do you see?) and then by support . In this category, you'll find roughly these groups:
- Parasites & pests – if there is itching, scratching, dandruff or unrest in the coat (also check the enclosure).
- Skin, Coat & Recovery – Support for small spots, dry skin, or recovery after a scratch.
- Vitamins & supplements – as additional support during recovery periods or in the case of (temporary) reduced resistance.
- Digestion – support for changing bowel movements or after stress/dietary changes (always proceed with caution).
- Respiratory support – if sensitive: also check dust, ventilation and ground cover.
Tip: Need to go to the vet? Take your mouse safely in a good transport box with some familiar nesting material.
Signals & situations – when are you extra alert?
With mice, it's better to be too early than too late. Take this extra seriously:
- Lethargy , sitting hunched over, eating/drinking less.
- Shortness of breath , sneezing, audible breathing.
- Diarrhea or very abnormal stools.
- Severe itching , scabs, bald spots or wounds.
- Eye/nose discharge or sticky eyes.

Supportive accommodation – the foundation that always helps
Many "health benefits" lie in the design. Consider:
- Low-dust and absorbent (especially for sensitive airways): ground cover .
- Always fresh water and multiple water points for groups: drinking bottles and water bowls .
- Rest and hiding places to reduce stress: houses and nesting material .
- Nutrition as a basis (do not “adjust” with only extras): mouse food .
Maintenance & hygiene
- Spot clean daily : remove wet corners and dirty areas immediately.
- Weekly : Replace parts of the ground covering and remove accessories.
- Keep calm : always leave some “familiar scent” (don’t sterilize everything at once).
- Make cleaning easy with mouse care products.
