Has anyone saved a harvest mouse?

[lizziehux]

I've been trying to feed this penny sized... since Thursday and I need some help! Why try to save a mouse? Because he was sat outside my backDoor when I went out to feed my birds...this was a cry for help! what else could I do???

Try giving him milk with a eye dropper and make sure you keep him warm.

I have a small syringe I used for the quail but it is too big so I put the milk between the creases of my fingers and he takes it from there

I'm a real person, hello.

Go to walmart and pick up some kitten formula. DO NOT feed it cow milk. You can use a TINY paint brush to give it some milk. Keep it warm with a heating pad, but make sure there is a cool area away from the heating pad, too.

If you don't plan to release, your mouse needs a minimum 18x12x12 cage (bigger the better), or a minimum 10 gallon tank.

Don't ever give any animal cow milk, unless its a cow.

Is this a baby mouse you're talking about? Baby mice can be very hard to keep alive.

Where are you currently keeping it? How are you keeping it warm?

@chickentrains why would you "never give any animal cow milk"?
