I can answer questions regarding husbandry, health, feeding, and general care of orphaned baby mice, having raised several litters in the past. I can also answer questions in regards to taming, tricks, and social behavior. Feel free to ask anything and I will do my best to answer. *** Note: Before asking questions in regards to orphaned mice please read through my answered questions. Almost all of the information you will need will be located there. If after reading through the answers you still have additional questions ask. :) I'm trying to avoid answering duplicate questions, and using my available time for ones that I have not yet answered. | |

I can answer questions about raising mice and caring for them as pets, with knowledge from my 35 years of having mice as very tame pets, including raising babies to be pets. I am expert in behavior. I am NOT a breeder, nor a scientist, nor do I know about exotic mice. I am NOT a vet-- I know only about illnesses and problems which have come up in my experience with my own mice, or what I have researched; I may be able to offer you home remedies in case you can't go to a vet, but a vet visit is always better. Please first search first: use 'Natasha Mouse' with whatever else your question includes ('baby' or 'orphan' or 'wild' or 'pregnant' etc). You can also do your own research at: http://www.fancymice.info/index.htm *or* http://www.allaboutmice.co.uk/ *or* http://forum.thefunmouse.com/index.php *or you can ASK QUESTIONS at* http://www.smallanimalchannel.com/mice-and-rats/default-1311.aspx#Sec *or EVEN A VET* http://www.smallanimalchannel.com/critter-experts/vet/topiclist.aspx. |

I would assume they'd be fine out in the cold since that is how wild mice live anyway, but if you are concerned it might be best to wait until spring. Are they house mice or deer mice? If they are house
I have never heard of a case between a field mouse and house mouse successfully mating. If that ever did happen it would surely be a first! As far as the male mice as concerned, when male mice reach adulthood
First off I would suggest going through all of my previously answered questions for information on care and feeding of orphaned baby mice. You will find some great information from my previous posts. Rubbing
Hi, Mice do make fast friends. Your mouse is depressed from losing her friend. However, there's nothing you can do about it now. Hopefully she will get over it soon and bond with the new mouse.
