Welcome to TSB and bless you for caring for this little one. If you could post a pic it would help us a LOT in really giving you the right kind of advice. You know the basics: keep baby very warm in a container he can't bust out of. KMR is not the best for rodents, as it is truly formulated for kittens wth a high protein content. If you can get some Goats Milk Esbilac (Petco and Pet smart sell it) that would be better.

Feed with the smallest syringe you can get your hands on. The baby made be dehydrated at this time, also, so he may not pee for awhile. Kee offering hydration every couple of hours during the night.

im not sure how to send or upload pictures to this or much how the site works but if someone had a momenet my email is chrissmith73117@aol.com i can give my phone number there for pictures or whatever i want this guy to survive even if it means having to surrender him to someone more qualified but no zoos or shelters he might only be a mouse but still has a heartbeat

It’s definitely a mouse. Island Rehabber suggested Goats milk Esbilac. Get some of that to feed him. You should also offer some plain water or slightly sweetened water in case he’s dehydrated. I don’t know if he can maintain his body temperature or not at this age. I really don’t know much about mice, but if he feels cool to the touch then I’d suggest putting a non shut off heating pad under one half of his bin. Set it on low. That way he can crawl off the heat source if he’s too warm. Some blankets or hamster nesting material from the pet store would be perfect for him.

I will definitely get GME i wish i could post the video of him eating to show some of the sounds hell make i think its a normal just clicking kinda sound ive started a schedule i was told he should be fed 6-8 times a day at his age so me and my girlfriend well she lol came up with a feeding schedule its every 3 hours my only fear is yes ive actually wipe poop out of him twice it was yellowish orrange kinda on the harder side but i havent seen him pee and i mean theres a big chance he could have but when i found him he was budnled up in insulation and whatever else they made the nest out of so i kept some of it and kept it in his cage just to maybe keep him more calm cause i seem him sometimes gravitate towards it but as of now i have him in one of those plastic fish tanks with a open top and a bandana as a bottome cover then a bunch of stuffing and ill at times take him out and let him ball in my hand or chest wherever he will feel my body heat and be comfy so afraid of waking up and just finding the animal stiff i had this happen once a long time ago with a baby racoon idk why it happens or what happend it went in the night i wasnt able to give as much care as i am now but i will try and post a pic of his habitat

The baby is precious. :grin2 You could make a rice buddy for the baby. Put dry rice in a cotton sock and tie the end. Microwave until warm. Squish the rice around to mix hot spots inside. Wrap it in a cloth and put near the baby. Make sure it’s not too warm. The baby needs the warmth as they can’t regulate their body temperature at that size. Thank you for caring.

Yesss he is atleast pretty sure its a he lol not sure but yeah i couldnt just leave him alone last night was really cold pouring rain and terrible winds if i didnt grab him when i found him he probably wouldnt have made it but i did put him with that tank in a cubby stack the tank had way more then enough room but i placed a regular lamp light facing into it hea still covered from most of the light and it should give atleast some heat in there i dont wanna over heat or dehydrate him we have been keeping our room at like 72 degrees or more dpending on how it feels but i also noticed my girlfriend had a really soft furry jacket and i placed him on it and wrapped him up if i could post the video of it i would but it was him trying to suck on the fur thay when i realized what he was doing he had latched on to the fur i thought it would be a calmy thing to feel the softness but instead he tryed sucking on it like a nipple but he wont grab the dropper but will lick and suck up the formula out if the crevesis in my hand

[HRT4SQRLS]

I have heard the best way to feed a tiny mouse is with an artists soft tiny paint brush. Drip the formula on the bristles and the baby will sucks the formula from the bristles.
