How can I stop my mouse licking her tail?

She has been biting it and the skin was flaking like when you get sunburnt. So I put some olive oil on it - but she keeps licking it off… I keep passing her food but she finishes it and licks her tail again. Please help me even if you have no idea - a suggestion would be appreciated anyway.

Answer #1

The bigger question is, why do you want to? Unless she’s harming herself, somehow, just let her be.

Answer #2

I am worried the skin on her tail will peel off, which can cause permanent damage :(

Answer #3

try putting something that tastes bad on it’s tail for now and then it’ll stop. but make sure it won’t harm it or anything

Answer #4

shes cleaning herself leave her alone.

Answer #5

No she is biting her tail. The vet has told me. :)
