you have to think... what has this mouse eaten in the last few days???
it is not uncommon for a mouse to eat anything from wires to rat poison ( they can actually eat this and still survive) and any other pesticides they have picked up in their travels.
always feed captive mice as you know what they have in their system.
hope this helps
