yes they have, I really should have thought, but thought they would have already been dead if they had been poisoned by it  |

the baby mouse took a little fluid, milk mixed with water as that was all I had to hand, tried to eat some cooked potato and ham but was too weak and shortly after died. The older mouse ate and took some fluid but after acting 'drunk' also died. |

They both died? was the mouse a rat like the one in the photo? was it a similar age? were its eyes open? They seem to have left the nest to early or been disturbed. At this age they shouldnt be wandering about. |

Thats a brown rat too. I would be very careful handling these they carry all sorts of nasties. These could be poisoned or due to their young age might have lost their mother and be struggling to feed. |
