Just keep it alive. My baby mouse I found in the garage died today. I cried for about an hour.

Master Chaos Demon: Also, DO NOT feed them any form of puppy or kitten milk. The same goes for baby squirrels. They CAN NOT digest it. I've had this happen to me before. I tried feeding esbilac (a type of puppy formula) and soy milk. Both animals died. The best form of formula to feed an infant mouse if they still need a formula, is a form of goat's milk. It is the easiest to digest. Cheese is fine for them if in moderation. That's what my sister gave her pet fancy rat as a treat. She was able to train him to do tricks and stuff.

Answer 2

Try adding 1part milk 2 parts water and maybe a tiny bit of honey then warm it for like 4 sec. then feed it using your finger that should do the trick... you could also use some kitten formula but we didn't and our mouse is a live

Answer 4

You should use diluted kitten formula. It is easiest to dilute to the correct strength if you use powdered formula. It should be diluted to 1/2 strength.

The safest way to feed is through a small bottle made specifically for mice, hamsters, and small rodents. You can buy this at a pet store. It will be in the same aisle as the kitten formula.

If you cannot find the small animal bottle, you can use a very small syringe (with the needle removed, obviously). Take care not to get milk around the baby's nose, as this will cause aspiration pneumonia and death. If the mouse kicks away from the bottle or syringe with it's front paws and starts flailing and gasping, it has gotten milk up it's nose and cannot breathe. Use a q-tip or piece of kleenex to very gently wipe around it's mouse and nose.

Mice nurse on their stomach. They will not be comfortable on their backs in your hand. Cup the baby gently in the palm of your hand and hold the bottle between your thumb and forefinger. The baby mouse will grasp at the nipple with it's paws and will suck or lap the milk on it's own.

Answer 5

without teeth: don't try to do it yourself, call a petshop, or a wildlife rehabilitator now!

With teeth: but a gallon fish tank (with lid) ,mouse food,and heat pad. Turn the hat pad on low, place the tank on-top of the heating pad, place two to four inches of shredded toilet paper in the bottom of the tank, cut the center of a toilet paper roll in half to make a tunnel, place one half under a thin layer of paper, the other half on-top of the shredded paper, and then get a water/soda bottle cap, place inside of a jam jar cap or a larger lid (to catch any water that is spilled, and fill center cap ONLY with CLEAN water. Now get some cheese (American) tear into four quarters, and then put two quarters aside in the fridge, and one quarter in the half tunnel on top of the paper, and the other in the burred tunnel.

Answer 6

Give it kitten formula through an eye dropper. Don't get any in his nose or he will die. When the mouse is ten days old and starts to grow fur, try feeding it solids like soft bread. You can soak it in milk of you want to. :) Make sure you allow the mouse to go to the bathroom too. Press a warm, wet Q-tip to his bottom to help.

Answer 7

Their mother breast-feeds them until they are old enough to eat food on their own (3-4 weeks).

Answer 8

When they are really young and pink, the drink their mom's milk. When they are older and have hair, they will eat seeds, fruit, veggies, and nuts. Sometimes meal worms, too.

Answer 9

anything but, poison
