Larry, one of the 3 mice brothers, died sometime last night. His brothers partially ate some of his body to try and get rid of it. Gruesome, but a defense mechanism. You can't have decomp smell as it attracts predators. I've taken apart their cage and will be cleaning and resetting it.
His brothers, Curly and Moe, are seniors, about a year and 4 months. Poor little guys. They just don't live very long. These 2 mice and my 1 gerbil are the last non-rattie rodents I will keep.
