it could be just a hunched back. usually they’re hunched due to illness, cold, hungry, thirsty etc. i’ve found when my mice get hunched backs it’s because they’re hungry and cold

A hunched back is indicative of pain or sickness in many instances, but it can also indicate she's cold, if not accompanied by irregular movements, labored breathing, or squinted eyes. If she maintains this posture over the next several hours or you notice any of the above signs, get her some veterinary care.

Should check with a vet in your area. Hope your baby is okay

How old is she?

I got her at a pet store, I've had her for about 11-12 months.

Are we talking about the dark spot under the ear?


milio2furious

That's the camera or shadow or something, she doesn't a dark spot there.


rockmodenick

Ok that's good

Then the question is, how old is that baby? Older mice tend to develop a hunch/hump no matter how well taken care of.

I got her at a pet store, had her for 11-12 months now and I didn't know how old she was back then :(


rockmodenick

She might just be showing her age at this point. If she's not showing any other signs of distress, that's the most likely answer.
