Answer 1

huh? i dont get it

Answer 2

When a small animal gets scared some of their blood vessels can pop more frequently in their nose so maybe if you had a dog that could of got in the room? Or if there was a loud continuous noise? Something could of maybe scared her to death?  

Answer 3

How old was she? Mice only live for 2 years, 3 if you're really lucky. A bloody nose sounds like she had respiratory problems or was sick. An illness could have killed her, it could have been in the pine. She may have eaten it too, I'm not sure about pine but some plants have saps and juices in them that are harmful to animals, and to a rodent the size of a mouse even the smallest amount could be fatal. But yeah, a bloody nose definitely sounds like an illness of some sort, although I couldn't say what. The fact the she's as hard as a rock means she died several hours before you found her and rigor mortis has already set in. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. By the way, what's good bedding? To me good bedding is wood shavings or shredded paper.

Answer 4

Well the bloody nose occurs allot whenever rodents die i really don't know why but it couldn't have been the bedding....

as for her being stiff as a rock she was probably dead for more than a day and hit rigormortis

Answer 5

The bloody nose could have been a repitory problem caused by the pine bedding.  She was hard as a rock because thats what happens when they die.

Answer 6

wel she dead it may of been a heart attcak if some1 statlled her tomuch not sure about the bloody nose and shoudnt of thought the bedding would do eny thing unless elergic reaction but that wouldnt kill it sorry to hear it though

Answer 7

whats the good bedding? probably died of age. You failed to mention what that was too. rodents don't seem to last very long anyway. I have never had luck with them.
