- Paranoia can take a vacation on this one, I think. This involves "pet" mice and other animals. Not like they rounded up all those mice from the neighborhood. Illness due to lack of care.
Just looking at the cages, it's clear why they are ill.
"Due to unsanitary conditions, the property has been declared "uninhabitable" by the health inspector, he said." (end article quote)
Not at all likely related to lyme - or if some might have had lyme, this is not the major problem here and likely, no more prevalent at the outset than in the general "mice population" at large.
Neglect & severely bad living quarters -- that really is abuse, torture and cruelty is the major cause of these poor animals' ill health.
Any animal in such conditions with such treatment would be ill. Now, it may be that there could be some with ticks &/or infected with lyme - or other things but that's not what is going on here.
This is sheer animal abuse. Likely, the owner is severely unwell - for any number of reasons, perhaps. I hope they are not (just?) psychopathic and intended to torture. -
