Young field mouse

[Anjanette]

Hello, We found a young field mouse that our playful tabby cat brought to us. He doesn't seem to have any injuries except a very small puncture on his back that blead for less than an hour and seems to be better now. He is shakey or wobbley when he tries to walk, that's why we think it's a baby or maybe very young. It has hair and it's body is healthy looking. It's body seems small for the size of his head. We do see little tiny teeth but we aren't sure how to feed it. We've tried an apple slice, crushed kitten food in warm water (but doesn't seem to like it), clover from the front yard, and a tiny piece of bananna. Any input would be very much apppreciated.

Hello and welcome. I wish your first post was under happier circumstances, and hope your mouse is OK. I have no idea what to suggest I am afraid, maybe you should try asking on the Mamal forum where someone who will be more likely to know can help. Good luck .

hiya, sorry to hear about your mouse! I hope it is ok. Have you tried contacting either the RSPCA or your local vet? In the mean time i would say that he should probably be kept warm (with a cloth, blanket etc) because such a small creature is in danger of losing body heat especially when so young.

Dont have anything else to suggest im afraid except keep him away from the cat lol!
