I found a baby mouse....

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.
Yep we live in the woods! Don’t even get me started on rats. We had one and it chewed the hoses on the dishwasher (husband replaced 2 times before figuring out a rat did it) causing a flood and it also peed and pooped on the insulation surrounding our oven so when I turned it on to bake it smelled. We ended up buying a new oven. Believe me I wanted to burn our house down until we finally got it! It was too smart for traps so my husband sat in the kitchen in the dark and finally got it.
 
OMGGGG! I found two baby orphan mice! Their eyes are closed, and they are fully furred. They are named Simon and Sable.
I'm somehow in the same boat as you now.
 
I was coming home from a peaceful protest and heard sqeaking. I thought it was my scooter but it was a little mouse. Then there was two!
 
A good basic baby formula is milk, an egg yolk and honey. It's just the proportions that vary. Sadly, I've no idea exactly what would be the right mix for baby mice, but I raise mice and the mothers only feed them a couple of times a day after the first week, so I'd guess it's pretty rich. So I'd try 2x as much milk as egg yolk and a small teaspoons worth of honey. I don't know if it helps, but that formula raised a squirrel successfully.
 
My parents owned a pet shop and mice were our biggest population. Lol if our momma's abandoned any babies we would go to tsc and buy this milk powder. It is made for like 25 different animal breeds and will last you forever. I'll do some searching and post a pic of what it's called for you. For now the evaporated milk and possibly baby food are good for them. At this age they are still considered "pinkies" once they get moving now that they have their fur they will be considered hoppers. And the name fits! They are like hyper little kids who can't sit still and want to touch and check out everything and everything! (I say this bc I have 5 kids between ages 9 and 11 months and when I think of hoppers I think of all my kids hyped up on caffeine and candy! 😂) But if it is something your interested in (not many people are) mice make awesome companion pets. My husband doesn't like them but if I could I would have one 😊
