Is it safe to feed a baby mouse organic milk? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Awww, a baby mouse! I use to have one too .. raised it and put it back out in the fields.
Baby "anything" should have warm milk (slightly less than body temp. Test it on your wrist (shouldn't be the same temp as baby milk, but just the chill taken off the milk. As long as the milk has been refrigerated there should be no harm in giving the mouse day old milk. I put a tiny bit of honey in with the milk, then I dipped a cloth in it and let the baby mouth suckle on it. I called him "Fat Albert" later on. LOL
Also, to learn more about raising your little mouse go to "google" and put in:

Answer
Yes, its fine to feed your mouse organic milk-in fact that is really good for your mouse!
Answer
Do NOT feed your mouse cow milk! If you must give him milk that is not from the mother then use ORGANIC GOATS MILK.
Puppy milk or kitten milk formula is best for baby mice, because it contains nutrients and stuff much like mouse milk. Regular milk will do in a pinch, but baby mice weren't made to digest cow's milk, and it can cause problems for them.
Answer
Mice cannot digest cows milk. Period. Go to the pet store and get the goats milk that is formulated for puppys or kittens.
