We have seven baby mice born about five hours ago! Come and see! Mom and Dad are doing well…nesting and looking pretty calm for having created such a big crew.
The babies have no hair (nor eyes!), but they can yawn and cry in tiny, squeaky voices. Yes, I’ve been jumping up and down with pride.

says:Hi,
my husband and I found a baby mouse, actually we thought it was a baby squirrel,but he was so small that it was hard to tell.
So now it’s grown, he opened his eyes with us, we fed him and saved him. I wonder if there are any disease mice could carry and if we should be aware of that. Also…we leave in Florida, Orlando, can anyone tell me if there is a place around here where we could take him if we decide not to keep him anymore. We are leaving for three weeks trip soon, but I don’t want just to leave it in the wild himself, is there a place where they take care of him?
Thank you.

says:Yes, you could have handled them at age 1-3 days, so yes, at four weeks, they are adults now!

sara
says:my mouse had 7 babies and a few hours later she died. i was left with 7 baby mice!!! i had no idea what to do, so i fed them regular milk (i had no kitten formula around) they lived through the night and i gave them to a local petstore… but i was wondering could i have bought a substitute mom? is there such a thing as a mouse who adopts and feeds a batch of babies? i just want to know what i should do if any of my other mice go through the same thing one day… please give me some advice thanx!!

Brianna
says:hi. i have these two mice from a previous litter and 3 days ago (they were both pregnant) they had babies in the same corner at the same time. it was pretty amazing. but anyway, i got a count this morning and there are 25 babies!! i’m worried because i thought mice were only supposed to have up to ten babies at a time. seeing as theres so many i was wondering how likely it is that a few of these little ones might die? i really hope that doesnt happen but i just want to be sure how likely it is.
Sally
says:WOW!
That is neat baby mice are soooo cute! I wish i had a mouse with babies!
I think your write if someone took my baby i would freak!!
Meg
says:My mouse had babies 9 of them, they are 9 days old they, have lots of fur and their eys are still closed they open at around 10 days of age. We bought the mother, Maja, and she got really fat and a week and two days later we found little mice… We got 10 for the price of one!
I love my mice.
P.S. DON’T take baby mice from the wild their mother will be very upset

Mousehelper
says:for anyone who has mice that have no mother, with the feeding of the kitten formula, also wipe their tummies with a damp cloth so they know when to go to the bathroom. (their mothers do this with their tounge)
for “Rachel” do separate the father from the cage because right after the mother gives birth then the father will want to do this same process again and it will be neverending baby mice! put the father back in the cage after 4 weeks! (the mother needs time to rest!
“Chris” : no just because they are squeaking (or chattering their teeth) does not mean the mother is hurting or killing them. you shouldn’t worry about it.
I am currently hand-rearing one baby mice after the mother escaped from the cage. She (or he) is doing well so far and i hope you find my anwsers to your questions helpful!
chris
says:my mice has just had a litter of 10! just cause they are squeeking it doesnt mean the mum is killing them does it?
Rachel
says:my mice just had around 7 babies a couple of hours ago. Its just the mom and the dad in the cage, and i have a back up cage set up for the dad to avoid loosing any but the two are VERY close and ive heard different responses on whether or not to seperate them. could some PLEASE let me know what i should do? The parents are around 3 months old. THANK YOU! my e-mail is .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

says:Hey, to answer all you who have questions about baby mice care:
If you have a momma in the cage, she’ll take care of them. Her milk is all the babies need until they’re about 4 wks old. You can handle the babies after they are 1 wk old, but be sure to handle them all equally or the momma will think somethings up.
For all the people who have found babies without moms, kitten formula works best to feed them and you can use a dropper or just wet your finger and let the babies lick it off.
They will start eating solid food at about 4 wks old.
I have 9 babies right now, and they are 2 wks old, with beautiful satin fur and their eyes are just starting to open.
