I found a baby mouse....

Mine are deer mice. Did you ever post pics of yours?
They are probably about 7 days old.

This is the only one I have right now. Mom was brown with white belly probably a deer mouse....maybe

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.

I made some evaporated milk and added some syrup to entice them to eat. They’re doing very well (I think) and are regularly eating. One is like bro gimme and the other smacks whatever I’m using to feed it a few times before deeming it safe to eat.

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

My mom and dad are both saying we’re not keeping them and yet here we are. They don’t want them in the house and I’m like...but I have an empty enclosure!

HEY!! I just found this website that has an actual recipe to make replacement formula for mice and other wild rodents. (I can't find the stuff my parents used to use. That was 14 yrs ago tho) if you scroll down thru it has the exact recipe and everything you need to know! It was actually really cool to read!

Maybe when they see how cute they can be they will change their mind...? Lol I'm sorry. But at least if you can nurse them to where they need to be to be free then you will feel some accomplishment

I saved a baby mouse once. It got put in a small container that I didnt realize was slightly wet. The mouse got wet and all the little creatures that lived on the mouse came crawling to the top of his head. Can’t believe how many lice-like crawly creatures there were. You might want to think twice as you handle it...

I always wash my hands don’t worry. I’ve become careless with my chickens because if I were to get sick I would’ve done so already I guess but I’m always careless with rodents trust me.

Sooooo there is nothing in your household that will help you. You need to go buy baby formula...or...puppy/kitten formula and you need to feed the baby with a small syringe...and.... every two hours, that includes at night time. You sort of feed him the same way you would feed your baby a bottle. It's actually really cute because they often cusp the syringe with their paws when your holding it to their mouth..almost just like a baby would hold his bottle. You must warm the formula to at least room temperature. Formula is fairly inexpensive....a syringe can be baught at the pet store. If you don't feed the mouse soon....he will slowly die.

Puppy/kitten formula is very poisonous to mice and will kill them
