Well cleaned out the mini coop I keep chicks in and found a nest of baby mice with their eyes still closed and barely any fur and their mom (alive). Momma mouse ran off and I moved the nest to a little container with a whole in and and set it aside to see if momma mouse would come back. Sure enough she did and took all her baby mice BUT one!!! So I left it there and waited a few more hours and checked... she never came back for him. Me being me I couldn’t leave it to die so I brought it in put it in a box with a heat lamp and started feeding it almond milk every 2 hrs. I thought “by morning it will be dead but at least it died warm.” ... wrong. It’s been a week since I found this little guy! His eyes are still closed, he has fur and is now drinking kitten formula and a little unflavored pedialite every 2 1/2 hours. Should I keep him once he is grown or should I let him go? I don’t call him a name but my little sisters call him Despereaux(des-per-o)... like the movie.
