I have an orphan mouse about a week old, the vet recons it may not make it but I'll give it a go. They can't have cows milk because this causes diarrhoea. I am using orphan cats formula milk, it seems to like it and has put on 0.2grams in weight. you have to wipe its genitalia with a cotton bud first to make it do the toilet. If it doesn't pee this may mean its dehydrated in which case you should consult a vet. keep it warm 36 degrees C. and feed it every 3hours. You have to weigh it to know how much feed to give it. At 4.6grams you half it gives you 2.3 this is how many cc's to give it.

How do I care for a baby mouse that has no fur?
Your best option is to leave it alone - it is rare for a single baby mouse to be left abandoned by the mother. If this is a pet mouse, ideally you would try to foster it onto another mouse mother for nurturing. If this isn't an option, you can try bottle feeding it with milk replacer (check with your veterinarian, you may have to use a non-rodent milk replacer if that's all that is available). The baby mouse will need to be kept warm and will need regular feeding and grooming (soft massaging of the abdomen to encourage regular bowel movements). The good news is a baby mouse will develop rapidly, so you should be mostly done with your intensive fostering work in a few weeks.

Is it safe to supplement with formula while breast feeding?
Yes you can switch to formula. However, its better to breast feed the baby because breast milk can help in the development in the baby's immune system. Plus the best thing about breast feeding your baby is that it really helps the mother lose a lot of weight after the baby is born. But if you are breast feeding make sure to keep an eye on your baby to decrease a chance of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), the mother's breast may "smother" her baby by accident. while the baby is being fed, if the baby is held too tight to the breast of the mother, she may be covering its nose and the baby may not be able to breath and suffocate.
