| Re: Advice on Looking after a Baby Orphan Field mouse
I used to have mice as pets.
The mixture you're feeding the baby will be too rich, can you get some puppy/kitten milk or the like instead? Remember that has to be diluted down by half for a pinkie.
Naturelover is right about stimulating the bowels, the mother would use her tongue, so try it with a damp cotton bud instead, it may be that the baby is dehydrated from the mixture you're feeding it.
How small is the pinkie and does it have any fur? I can try and estimate how old it is (my dear Louie had a litter I raised) |
