Re: Releasing orphaned field mice - Too cold?

Thank you....

So I should try solid foods in addition to the milk replacement formula?

This is my second mouse that I raised as an orphan. The first one I did keep, as it again, seemed too cold at the time to release. We kept her in a very large aquarium with various tunnels, a wheel to run on, etc.

She lived a long life - 7 years! But I felt terrible about keeping her alone in captivity and this is what I hoped to avoid.

Thank you again. Judith
