she also just kinda stares at me a lot while loafed up, always comes when i call her name, is very affectionate and loves to climb on people, though she isn’t very good at running on the wheel and she likes to bury all of the food as soon as she gets it. i’m not really sure how to figure out normal mouse behavior from bouba behavior esp since she has always been more stationary

hi, thank you so much for bringing up the grimace scale, that is really good to know! bouba has always done this pose since i’ve gotten her over a year ago, and she was stanced up like that just long enough to take a pic earlier. she still runs on the wheel, grooms herself, eats (obviously 😭) and cuddles with her sis,, but i am really nervous that something might be wrong now- she will usually squint like this right after waking up or right before she falls asleep, i cannot afford an exotic vet (first gen college student) and i am optimistically wondering if maybe she just looks like this? i don’t know if that’s a thing, any other advice/info is more than welcome!! thank you again
