Baby Mouse
I found this baby field mouse. Isn't he the cutest?!
** He had fallen off his mother (while nursing) and was left away from his nest and his mother. I put him back in the nest so our cats wouldn't get him. When I checked back a few days later he was gone. The mother mouse (not sure if it's the same one) continues to nest in the same spot year after year. She seems to usually have two litters. Not sure what the norm is. They are cute, that's for sure.

on January 22, 2009Since you picked the baby up and touched it is possible that the mother killed it because it smelled you on the baby.

on October 2, 2007if you find a baby mouse with its eyes closed, you can feed it warm KMR with an eye dropper. you have to wipe its little butt with a warm damp afterwards, as it cant go on its own. keep it in clean plastic storage bin with soft nesting material. place a heating pad on low, under a towel, under the bin.
u dont need to know
