HELP! Baby mouse! *Help no longer needed*

[cassie]

He was a field mouse....cute as a button but pretty smelly! We loved him though and although he never became handleable, he took food from our hands and was happy t be out and about in his cage when we were around.

What color was he? Was he grey all over or did he have a white belly and paws? I don't remember field mice smelling, but I know house mice do.

Thanks everyone for your help. The mouse died.


On a stair.

Mice are really, really hard to keep alive in wildlife rehab, about as hard as baby birds. I wouldn't feel too badly about it. Sorry it happened though.

Very definitely a field mouse....brownish fur with a white belly, chin and feet. Much rounder muzzle and much cuter than a house mouse but despite the fact that you're right, they SHOULDN'T smell so much, little Trio certainly did. We had to keep his 'toilet corner' immaculate or my son's room ponged like a zoo! Lol! x

Oh no! Sorry! Like the others said there was a small chance of him/her surviving. You did everything you could!
