Feeding, nursing baby field mouse, Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins

This eyes closed baby field mouse is being nursed. I'm using a 1 cc oral syringe with a cut off tom cat catheter to feed him Esbilac puppy milk. I've been feeding him every hour. He came in with his umbilical cord still attached. His eyes should open soon then he will eat on his own. He will be released back to the wild.I am a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

Holy crap and I thought feeding a newborn kitten was bad! He's so tiny.

@LittleSerboLamb I had to make custom super tiny feeding instruments for these guys.

My little brother was in 5th grade, when he found a dying field mouse at a neighbor's house, who had sprayed rat poison. He actually ended up bringing the mouse back to life, and we named her Desperaux. We had her for about two years, but towards the end of her life she became extremely distant, and just dyed.

@OLQH2 Mice only live 1.5 to 2 years. Sounds like he had a nice life.

How big are the when they are weaning? I am caring for a field mouse, she is eating solid foods, she`s extremely friendly, she crawls in my hand and will fall asleep in my pocket if she`s cold, but her poop is yellow, is she ok?

We just found a baby mouse and Im afraid its gonna die. I didnt know how to feed it or what kind of milk to feed it. This video helps a lot. I couldnt just throw the little guy outside like my dad told me to do. I find it hard to do something like that and feel I should help the little guy. Hes smaller than the one in this video too. Id say a day old or so.

@MaryCummins I think it's awesome that you're selfless enough to help someone out that is so small! I just wished more ppl were this caring about other animals other than the obvious, cats and dogs! :)
