Can you milk a mouse?
Yes you can.All you need is catmilk ,some water and very small
pipette. You can use the catmilk for the purpose which you can buy
in well equipped stores and petshops, cowmilk is not suitable.Best
is the powder one which you prepare with warm water, the measures
are usually written in the can itself.Make sure you have a little
feeding bottle to prepare the mixture, it should come with the
milkpowder can but you can find one easily in petstores.Once you
have shaken well the mixture so all the powder is melted in the
warm water test the warmness to your hand like you would with a
babybottle, if its too hot wait a little. Put some milk into the
small pipette, take he mouse firmly in your hand so you keep its
head between your thumb and forefinger, dont squeeze too hard, and
put the end of the pipette in his mouth pushing the milk little by
little from the tip of the pipette.Give in very small doses so the
little fellow dont choke on it.If some milk gets in his nastrils
clean it before you continue. I have used this technic with my
dwarfhamsterbabies so you can imagine how tiny they are and yet I
have managed to keep them alive when teir mommy could have not.
Hope this helps someone.
