Feed them bread soaked in warm *room temp* milk. Little bits of grain. Be gentle with it. You can search on Google for more information. You might have to wait though to release it. You did specify how old it is so I can't help you.

AnswerHere's a nother good website on raising mice: http://www.rmca.org/Articles/orphans.htm
Cow milk is not a good idea since it can cause diarrhea. Kitty or puppy milk (ask your vet) are good substitutes.
After it starts to eat by itself, offer oatmeal soaked in the puppy milk at first as well as normal mouse food and millet spray. Most wild mouse species eat a fairly big share of insects, so don't forget those: mealworms, crickets, locusts. It's better to feed them alive so that the mouse gets used to it. Also, try to make the cage as big and as similar to the mouse's natural habitat as possible and scatter the food instead of using a bowl. Handle it as little as possible so that it doesn't get too tame.
