Hi, I have a few does affected now, and one death so far. They all have reddish bloody discharge from the vent area, not sure if its anal or vaginal, one of my bucks has lost condition but is not showing the discharge just does so far.

Any ideas, I have had some issues with trying to get them pregnant recently even though they appear to gain and then lose weight, is something triggering miscarriage?

thanks cait ill go and look up scours, although I think its a bacterial infection isnt it, maybe some of my tanks are overcrowded might have to have a good look at it.

Had another death today, my broken stud buck (which I think was infertile anyway so not a big loss but a beautiful mouse). No signs of discharge but suddenly thin and then dead, Ive also removed another couple of does. Luckily its only affecting the rumpwhites and brokens which I've been playing around with trying to set up some brokens and expanding the blue rumpwhites, my best showable lines of rumpwhites are not effected.
