I found a baby mouse....

[Oncoming Storm]

In my wooden house we often have unwanted pests. Yesterday we caught a mouse and quickly disposed of it..... just a few minutes ago, I heard a loud squeaking. After some searching I found a baby mouse. It’s fully furred but it’s eyes are closed. I don’t want to kill it. It was all alone on the carpet. I think the mouse we caught yesterday was mom. Does anyone know what I can do for it with common household items?

So this was a conversation I just had with my mom
Me: so I gave them some evaporated milk-
Mom: wait when did we get evaporated milk?
Me: I made it *extremely proud*
Mom: child...

Some people use a paintbrush, a very small one, to soak and feed the mice milk

Agree...I would not either but I’m not fond of rodents. Where there is one there is always a lot more!

Especially when you live in the woods! Lol mice are just annoying but if I ever see a rat I’m burning the house down.

My chickens go for baby mice like I go for Cheetos. But kudos to the OP for trying to save it.

Try getting some kitten formula. Or if you have it, baby formula could work, make sure it has no iron. Even evaporated milk will work, it has more fat and calories than normal cow's milk.

We found another one.

I know it sounds mean but rodents carry diseases... I personally wouldnt keep them, I’d feed them to my bearded dragon... up to you though. How’s the first baby doing?
