I went into my bedroom and there was the remains of a dead mouse that Trixie and Dixie killed and fed off of. All there was was a tail, a leg and a rump. They don't seem to be acting any different. I have no idea why they would do this. Is there there something wrong with with my guinea pigs?! Should I be concerned? The mouse brought what I think are fleas and they are all over my bedroom walls. What should I do??!

Remove the mouse and deep clean your room and cage with a disinfectant. Give your piggies a bath and if necessary treat with topical ivermectin.
Make sure that there are not any more mice where this came from. Guinea pigs can - but do so only very rarely - eat protein and small bugs.

Also try to find where the mouse gained entry. If a mouse the pigs can kill got in, perhaps a larger rodent can get in.
If you think the pigs are acting at all strange, off their feed, not as active as usual, get them in for a vet check. Better safe than sorry.
