It is a genetic thing. I have many mice that have them. Usually only when I pick them up. They will seiz while I am holding them by their tails. I have not noticed them affecting breeding or anything. But I only handle my mice when I clean the cages.

Possible that you have epilepsy in your line. I personally have not seen it in mice but our first gerbils as kids were epileptic, got given them by our neighbor that was a college proff studying it. Lovely pets, unless they got freaked and seized, then you put them down fast or they would inadvertantly chew the heck out of you.
