I'm doing an investigative project for college on mice genetics. Part of my research is breeding with my mice and logging what the litter produces. For my risk assessment i'm going to put in some diseases or things that can go wrong for the owner while keeping the mice, can you think of any? Are there any zoonotic diseases you can catch from fancy mice? or wild mice? i know theres a few but i'm not sure if i should put them down or not.
There is a small chance of my mice getting diseses from wild mice and rats as sometimes my mum and i forget to close the shed door at night and day. Also is there any illnesses keepers can get from basic maintenace of mice.
Im prepared to take cases to the extreme :lol: such as one i've put first:
It could be a freezing cold, wet day when i change out the bedding of my mice. I could get soaked from traveling to the shed, and as the door cannot be closed from the inside, a draft could cause me to get a chest cold. If my body does not recover, I could get a pneumonia and die. severity-5(death). Likelyhood-1(very unlikely). Risk level-5.
silly things to bulk it out, be creative!
