Sometimes infant mice are born with problems. It's nothing that you or the mother can control. There will often be a runt born with a large litter, or a "peanut" who will always be much smaller than its siblings. Sometimes these babies die.

If the mother is not feeding the babies, that's a different problem. You would need to find a foster mouse, or hand-feed them yourself.

Answera baby mouse would die for a number of reasons:1 reason is it could freeze to death which i have experienced with my orphaned mice shock is another reason if it had been attacked.

it could also not been able to get milk from its mother if she had alot of babies like 10 that's what happend to one of my babys when my mouse had like 11 babes

Most rodents I've seen close to death do not eat very much or act very energetic, but... I guess most things don't when they're about to die...

How do you tell a pet mouse is dead for definite?

my sisters mouse is pretty active. if your mouse doesn't move much or isn't on the wheel much (assuming you have a wheel) then he/she may be dead. also, you could try cleaning the cage and if the smell comes back he/she is alive. another thing could be put him/her in the ball (assuming you have a ball) and seeing if the ball moves. counting pellets. it shouldn't be too hard to see if your pet mouse has passed, as they are usually active animals.
