Answers:

Ity would be best to find a nursing mother with babies about the same age. If you can't find one follow these instuctions:

DO NOT give it cows milk. Go to the pet store or vet and get kitten milk replacer and feed it that. Keep it warm in a cloth and try to keep it next to your body so that it gets that natural heat source. You'll have to feed it and then wipe it with a warm wet cotton ball to stimulate a bowel movement and then clean it up. Any questions e-mail me or IM me.

get rid of it

Give it me, I have a snake that will "look after" it.

---

depends how old it is, it may not survive without its mother. Milk is always a good start.

I would say get some warm milk and leave it in a bowl in a cage with blankets on the bottom and bring it inside with the baby inside and everything. Keep an eye on it for a few days, keep giving it milk. You can check out your local petstore and see what they recommend. They'll have plenty of food and toys for the little mousie to play with. When he/she is grown-up. Best of luck.

put it in a container with air holes, put in an old sock for warmth, kitten milk to drink and hope for the best

yeah mices could contain tons of germs and viruses, i know u dont wanna just leave it behind because it already lost its mom and all but these creatures really dont care. lol i mean hamsters and rats eat their OWN babies, now that's cruel. I say let it freee, freeee, freeeeeeeeeeeee

---

it wont survive without it mothers milk and that may have been poisoned

---

Hmm...I would put it into a hamster cage thing. You don't need a big one. Get some warm milk, clean water, maybe some wood. Also a heat pad...but don't make it super warm. Maybe put a blanket on the cage overnight...or if it's hot, I wouldn't. Also, contact a local pet store and ask them.

That's sweet! rats need feeding once a day they need a good quality rat mix that does not contain seeds or nuts as these can cause skin problems if you feed it "our food" avoid foods that are high in calories, sugar or fat good luck!

Does it have fur? Or is it nude and blind?
