How do you take care of a field mouse?

Answer 1

First off if the mouse was hurt or anything,you should pick it up and see if there was any cuts or blood. If the mouse seems fine give it some water and let it go somewhere by pine trees or a hidden habitat where the mouse might of lived

Answer 2

Do not use cows milk, it kills them by making their stomach cramp. Buy kitten formula (powdered is recommended, because it doesn't spoil) or soy based baby formula in powdered form but this is more expensive. Get an eye dropper or syringe with no needle. Make sure the milk is always warm, test it out on your wrist. You feed it every 2 hours, this means getting up in the night time. Make sure it's always warm, socks are best that way their toes can't get stuck in the threading. If you use a heating pad make sure it's on the lowest setting because they can over heat easily as well. They cannot potty themselves so use a Q-tip to rub their lower belly genitals and anus so they are stimulated to potty. You also need to hold them a lot. I have a pinkie mouse as well and I hold him the majority of the day because they really need a mom and this comforts them. Even with all this survival is not guaranteed but each day increases the probability. They can begin to be weaned at 3-4 weeks. But until then it's alot of hard work. Good luck to you

Answer 3

Unless he works his way outdoors on his own you have to trap him. if you know he is indoors and have an idea of general area, you can set out readily available mouse snap traps baited with peanut butter and you will probably catch him the first night. If that fails, get a tin cat online, put against wall every night and shift it's location until you pick him up-then you can release outside unharmed if you prefer not to kill it

Answer 4

get a cat or mouse trap
