If you just took in 2 baby mice that still haven't opened their eyes should you feed them vitamin D milk with an eye dropper?

Answer 1

To answer you question I can only tell you truthfully I'm not quiet sure saying we just took in a baby mouse as well. The first thing I would do is hold the mouse in a position so they can swallo and put of bit of warm milk *not scalding milk more like room temp.* on the tip of your finger and brush the milk on their lips. As they get only put it in a very small cup and tip it towards them don't let it get in their noses though. You can try with a dropper and it might work but take it very slowly. hope this helps.

AnswerSorry me again, also what would be nice is a very small bottle ones they use for baby cats. Cause the drop will probably come out smaller. again take it slowly AnswerNO! you should never feed mice cow milk, but you may ues goat milk, other wise, yes you can.

^^Adding onto their answer^^ Go for KMR, or a similar kitten milk formula, instead. Dilute it with water, make sure it's about room temperature, and use a dropper. Baby mice can easily drown and suffocate because liquid easily slips right into their little nostrils. If their eyes are still closed, they will want/need to eat approximately every 1-2 hours (yes, at night as well - they are nocturnal creatures, after all). Shortly after their eyes have opened they will eat a little less often (transition slowly to 3-4 hours), but they will have much more energy. Make sure they have room to move around and cannot escape out of their habitats. I'm currently taking care of two male field mice that are now approximately 4 weeks old. Their eyes were not yet open when they were found nursing from their dead mother in my backyard. Feel free to ask anything else and I will be happy to share my experiences.
