Ok, this may take a while to explain... I had two mice, brand new, etc (at the time I also had two guinea pigs) Ok, so one day I notice that um... where's the mouse? THE OTHER ONE ATE IT. The next few days pass, and SUPRISE, the mouse is pregnant (from her devoured spouse, or maybe before i got her...) and has babies. Since she pretty much warms the babies all the time, I never could keep count of them. Then the number started to drop. There were tiny skulls in the corner every time I cleaned her cage... Finally, there is ONE baby left, almost ready to be on its own (at this point I separated the mice for fear of the little guy being eaten!)... later in the week I come home to see that the divider for the two cages has been flipped out, and the mother has EATEN THE BABY AND ESCAPED.
In addition, the crazy mom mouse then killed both our guinea pigs (we think) as we found them both dead the next morning.
TDLR version, the lost mouse turned up in a mouse trap later. I was not sad.
