I just got a phone call that a close friend of mine found a newborn mouse under her mom's car! He's still alive, but we need help. I'm a cat person, I have no idea what to do! Please advise!
I used to make this bird mash stuff when I raised baby birds. Only once did I ever raise one that was newly hatched.. she made it to adulthood and is living on a farm now. A starling. Anyway.. it's either wet cats food, or dry cat food that has been soaked, and chicken or some sort of meat pablum mixed together with a bit of water, is what I always used. You could probably use the same thing for a mouse.Originally Posted by Beckiboo
I personally do not think a nude baby mouse will survive. (Sorry!) However, my dd has kept nude baby birds alive, one of which grew up and was set free, named Jackson.
Just do your best to keep it warm, and get some kind of food into it. Maybe kitten glop, which the pregnant cat forum has recipes for, will work. I do not know what dd used for the bird...I always teased her that she chewed up worms and spit them into their mouths...but I think it was more like bread and milk mushed up!
