What do you feed 5 baby mice that are about 2 weeks old and have fur and you can't buy them anything because you don't have much money and your mum and dad don't know you're keeping them?

Answer 1

Try diluted milk. My suggestion to you is tell your parents that you have them. Remember it is better to let them know now, that you found them, rather than having them find out on their own. That could get you into a whole lot of trouble. Baby mice require constant care and without proper care and nourishment they will not survive. Ask yourself, How can I provide proper care if I can not afford it? The answer is you can't. So please tell your parents, they may surprise you, even if they don't like mice they will be able to contact the appropriate authorities to properly address the situation and/or help to handle the situation themselves. For example, the local humane society or animal shelter, or a vets office. In the mean time warmed diluted milk 2 parts water to 1 part milk will work tempoarily but if given for a long period of time can make the poor guys sick. Kechara I am sure your mom and dad don't hate mice, but prefer they were outside. It's best to go to your mom (she's the one that's around most of the time) and tell her. Let them know you have been quietly caring for those mice and tell your parents all you want to do is give them a chance so you can let them out in the wild. I'm sure if you keep on caring for them (don't expect mom and dad to pick up the slack) they'll let you keep them until you can set them free. If they should say no, then ask them if you can take them to your local vets. Many vets (or ASPCA) will take in almost any animal. I'm sure mom and dad will come through for you. Good luck hon (and good for you!) Marcy Baby mice who have fur and have their eyes open can eat on their own. Allow them to have water at all times. Baby mice with eyes mostly shut try Bread, cereal, but make it warm and soggy for them. With their eyes open give it to them normally. Take a paper towel, newspaper, toliet paper rolls and put them in with the mice. If they do not start to tear it up by themselves tear the paper towels and newspaper up for them for their nest. Answer please tell ur parents they will be mad but it is better than hiding it ( I have first hand experience with that) anyways if u tell them they can help u buy the stuff like a cage a bottle or use ur finger to put the milk in or let it run down ur finger (kitten milk is the best i think)hope i gave u what ur looking for!!!
