Alrighty /an/, I found a young/baby mouse in my garage a few days ago, which I assume was orphaned. It had all it's fur, but it's eyes weren't open, although they kinda started to open today. At the behest of my younger brother, I'm keeping it in a small cardboard box (about 6 X 7 in). I'm sure it'll likely die soon, but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful. Most google results recommended feeding it puppy/kitty formula that's extra watered down, and rubbing its junk with something like a q-tip to help it go to the bathroom, but the people who asked those questions seemed to be talking about even younger mice, that are only a couple weeks old, and I don't really know if that info could really apply to mine. I tried the formula, and got him to lap up a tiny bit, but other than that I haven't been successful in getting him to eat/drink anything. He does have small teeth, and I can feel him lightly nibbling my hand when I let him on, and he'll also lick my hand a lot, which leads me to think solid food would be suitable for him to eat. He's pretty mobile when he's warmed up, too. I have his box sitting on top of my cable box, which is pretty warm all the time, and gets even warmer when it's on. Anyways, my biggest priority at this moment is getting him to eat, but I'm not sure whether I should keep trying liquid food, or to get him on solid food, like seeds/nuts, I really have no experience with rodents. Any of you guys have advice? I'm not a hopeful guy but it would be bitchin if he/she pulls through

Sad. I once found a mouse in the woods who was dying. I felt obligated to sit with it til it was dead.
Also
I later fed a mouse to a rat in boyscout camp.
That's what they get for eating my co-co puffs without asking first.
I caught two with a foam cup, the counselors wanted to kill em, I had to.
I will never forget what it looks like to see a rat eating a mouse alive.

Slow enough where this could almost just be a rodent general. Two of my mice had kids so now I have 16 pink things that don't stop fucking squeaking. Cute, though.

I'm down for a rodent general
>tfw people drop mice off at the shelter by the many dozens
>lol whoops mice breed fast who would have thought! Here's 40 of them all in the same 10 g we're just keeping the breeding pair to feed pinkies to reptiles!
These fucking niggers came in so often with their mice that the shelter director actually had to stop allowing any animals besides cats and dogs. Those 2 niggers ruined it for everyone. Every 6 months they would come in with a ton of mice, and we didn't have the space, housing, or resources for them and not a single one got adopted; they'd either escape, we'd give them away to volunteers/employees, or they would die. And every fucking female was always pregnant by the time we got them.
The babies were really cute, though

Update on the baby mice:
>1 went missing and was very young so I presume it's probably dead
>4 died of natural causes
>1 to an accident
>1 from a combination
>4 went to a store
>2 went to a nice home when they were little
>1 went to a home when he was older
>I kept 2
There's now 5 new babies, 3 of which I am likely going to keep and 2 I need to find homes for. I think this will be the last of the breeding for some time. The little shits sure can multiply.

One of the boys I was hoping to find a home for died today in a terrible accident. It is a very sad day.
