Feeding time for 4-day-old baby mice!

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Here at Wildlife Aid we are not species specific - we save all animals, including these 14 innocent baby mice! A kind lady brought these mice in to us after sneaking them out of a sure-death situation, when her employer called upon the services of a local pest control unit. Babies of this age need to be fed a special feed every two hours with a paintbrush, so this is what we'll do for the next week or so! We split the group into three smaller groups and gave them to three of our skilled orphan-feeder volunteers for a few sleepless nights ahead!
A massive thank you to our dedicated volunteers for caring for these little babies!

+Ce Ce mice*
Awwwwww :3
Soooooo! Cuuuuuttteee
Oh and also the lady who saved them, thank you so much!
Wow they are so tiny. :o!
frikin adorable
what a lovely video. The volunteers do a fantastic job.
So adorable ♥
I adore you people. Your compassion for all animals is so remarkable, so inspiring
I just had to do that only I used kitten milk and a tiny syringe. I kept the baby outside in a nest hopping the mom would come back and after 2 days she returned and took the baby away. A happy ending.
All life is precious. Even if after released back into the wild they simply become a meal for another animal. That's another animal that got to eat which might have kept it from dying. It's natural and beautiful and if those poor babes had just died at the pest control, and been thrown in the trash, their short life would have been pointless and it would have been such a waste. And who knows, mayhaps the mice will get to live out their short life to the fullest; a chance they wouldn't have gotten if these wonderful people hadn't saved them.
We had to rescue 9 baby mice when my cousins cat killed their mother when they moved the shed. Thankfully 8 survived to adulthood. They were only 2 days old when we got them and it was the hardest and most rewarding experience. We used a paint brush and warm kitten milk and they did so well. Combined with a heat blanket and we weaned them on baby rice.
I go to a park during the wintertime to feed rats starving for lack of natural food. I feed them organic corn, and other vegetables. They are super smart, and fun to watch. They even recognize me :) I love all animals. they are here on this Earth for a reason
That's so amazing! I rescued a mouse from our house (we have a cat) and released it onto a nearby grass field once. But that's nothing compared to actually going out of your way to feed rats that people call 'vermin'.
+Silver Poppy Rats are wonderful creatures who have a right to live on this Earth with humans and the rest of animals. I don't see rats as "vermin". I see them as animals that have helped humanity to make progress in medicine. We owed a lot to these vilified animals. I see them as suffering animals, and from that perspective I feel compassion for them :)/ They are here for a reason, like any of us, like any animal on this Earth. All of the animals came from God's breath of Life
+breadandcircus1 It's sad what their blamed for. The plague was actually the fleas which could be on any one or any thing. Rats actually try to keep clean by licking and preening themselves. Rats shouldn't come to your house unless the condition is unsuitable outside, for example, if they nearby
+Silver Poppy a forest and that forest is turned into houses the rats will go scavenging.
+Silver Poppy any people look down on certain animals and this is wrong. Many people call people who have committed heinous acts "animals" when animals don't act out of evil, revenge. Animals don't premeditate killings, when they kill is to defend themselves, or their young ones, , to survive. Thanks to rats, mice, science has developed many drugs and found cure for many diseases. Rats and mice are unwilling heroes, extraordinary animals so vilified, hunted, and that ironically have improved the lives of many humans. I hate to see them in research labs, that's horrible, cruel. But many people don't think about it
I need a book about breeding & feeding baby mice , please
HOW ADORABLE!
you guys put a smile on my face.
I did not expect a paint brush of all things to be used when feeding baby mice! XD
+13Xerro It's a useful tool! It's soft, holds the liquid they need to eat and it's small enough to fit in their mouth but sturdy enough not to break when they suckle. I believe some people also use specific types of sponge for the same effect.
+13Xerro They're incredibly useful! Many baby animals here are fed from a paintbrush!
+Wildlife Aid I'm sure they are, it's just something I never would have considered or expected to see. If I saw list of all the equipment Wildlife aid buys, I have no doubt paint brushes would be the odd one out to my untrained eyes. Is there any other equipment you guys have found unconventional uses for?
13Xerro There are many! Even IV catheters are used to feed our smallest patients, and we have hundreds of creme brûlée dishes that seem to be the perfect size for bird food!
It's one of the few things small enough.
"All creatures great and small"
Amen !!! :)
aww I love this vid
I am curious, what special formula did you feed them? I am always looking for ways to become better at raising orphaned mice.....
+CreekValleyCritters rats' children are no mice. Mice are different than rats. Smaller, but are not the same
+breadandcircus1 I only keep mice, I am not interested in a formula for rats, just for mice.
You are such an inspiration! Back when I had mice (may they rest in piece) you were so helpful.
+CreekValleyCritters Hey, I'm not sure if this is helpful at all because it's not from an official vet or anything but I used a mix of soy human formula, kitten milk and a tiny bit of goat's milk when I was feeding some abandoned pinkies a few years ago.
+breadandcircus1 The babies in this video are mice. As it says in the title.
You shoulda put a warning sign before showing them mice....... I died becos they are toooooo cuuuttteeee! Super Rodent lover here!
😘you are amazing people!❤️
It's gotta feel messed up when it's feeding time for snakes, owls and hawks.
Paint brush for feeding is awesome! You may already know this if you don't - I'd been hand feeding for years & had no idea about this until I started bringing a litter of new bald & blind baby wood rats to work ( they stayed in my vehicle & I'd go out every 2 or 3 hours to feed - btw temperature was suitable ) One of my co-workers suggested ( I'm an ER nurse ) that I cut an IV catheter close to the hub & attach it to a tuberculin ( or insulin syringe ) & it worked perfectly! I'd been using an eyedropper which is messy & not terribly efficient - Once the babies got the hang of it they learned to suck the formula - Oh & I told my co-workers they were baby squirrels cause I knew people would flip if it was known they were actually rats!
AAAAAAWWWWNNN!!!❤️❤️ they are so cute! They are really lucky to have caring people taking care of them! :) I wish I could do the same here..
And after they made this video they all went out and had Hamburgers with bacon and a extra side of Bacon.
oh My Mice God, SO CUTTTEEEEE!!!
Paint brushes? xD
i want a mousie 😭
Aw!! Tho0se little baby mice were adorable!!! Did they all survive?
I have mice of my own and I simply love them all!
Well done the lady .I go at night sometimes to film the tiny mice in he U-Bahn here .Nobody kills them .They live off he food pest like people throw on the floor and keep nice and warm down there .Terrific video *
Do not release them back to the wild.. These baby mice were practically partially raised with humans, they won't survive out there
so tiny ... could u please tell me what kind of milk u use to feed them?
I'm not sure what kind of milk they used but when I had to bottle feed a guinea pig I used evaporated milk (I think I may be wrong)
You have to feed them a very specific formula, otherwise they could form serious digestive issues. I believe there's some sort of mix you make with kitten formula and other things, but it has to be very perfect. Baby mice die really easily without their mothers.
Go check out CreekValleyCritters channel, they tell you what milk to use. :)
+Silver Poppy oh perfect! I was trying to think of what that channel was called and couldn't remember.
+Temperdoodle Glad I could remind you. :D
How do they have so much fur already + walking (you said 4 days old??)
Three quid.A starbucks coffee,500 yards in a taxi,a cheap pair of socks.Just text Wild3 and feel good about what you just did.I do.
I have a baby mouse I'm taking care of, she just survived the night, but I fed her at 11:00 pm and then at 4:00 am til 7:00 am... she was fine. And I hope to keep her as a pet, maybe.
How is your pet mouse? The mouse did live??
A couple of days ago we were removing the pond to a bigger area when we found 1 adult mouse and 4 babies! The mother ran when she saw us so we put the babies in a plant pot and stepped back. The mother came rushing back carrying each baby to a safer area. we just left them alone and watched.
I wish I could work here with you. I'm the only one that I know who sees animals as equal livin. Everyone around me treat them bad as if their life's are not worthy.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Is it normal for them to be shaky? My cat drug in a baby mouse and ive been hand feeding it every two hours with the paintbrush and wiping it bottom and tummy. Its just shaky and moves alot. Not sure if thats normal
Transformice!
My cat had a phase where he would bring me every baby mouse (about 10 days old) he could find! He wouldn't harm them, so to speak, they had no injuries... He'd just drop them off in my kitchen and wait until I pick it up, then he went looking for another.... I cared for them until they where old enough, as well as a big enough group, to survive in the wild. Such tiny creatures...but still a lot of work!
Ive done This 17 times before. Domestic mice, of course. I've had people bring me baby deer mice, which I brought to a wildlife rehab center. They belong in the wild, and wouldn't be happy in a tank their whole lives! I have no idea how to keep the mice From being dependent on humans, nor how to safely release them. Truly, wild animals that have been orphaned should be brought to a wildlife rescue/rehab. I am amazed you guys care so much for creatures any exterminator would vacuum up (the fate that almost became of the babies I brought in!), and spend so much time caring for them. If person with no experience came across baby mice, their chances for survival would be 1 in 4.
I cared for two baby mice that I named Chubs and Smalls. Smalls, of course, being the runt. Their mama had been squished when my friend and his parents were moving their sand carts out of the garage for maintenance. My friend brought them over, my mother refused... Until she saw them! She admitted they were cute and just like that, I was on my bike and heading to the pet supply store to see if they had formula. They surprisingly did and I cared for them for several weeks. Smalls passed away after 3 weeks and Chubs passed away just as I had started weaning him at 6 weeks. Loved them though! They were my tiny babies!
My wife and I are doing this currently. I was at work and left my window down so it wouldn't be so hot in the car when I got off work. Unbeknownst to me a mouse entered my car and gave birth in my lunch box. Didn't know until I got home and had quite the surprise. Unfortunately thr mom was not still in my car and I couldn't in good conscience let them die without trying to save them. Looks like a lot of sleepless nights for us the next several weeks.
+Wildlife Aid what type of species are they? Are these babies native mice? Could you identify them from babies or did you find out when they grew up? I'd really like to know!
my family found a newborn kitty and brought it home. She was restless and kept crying so I went to search for the mother which I fortunately found. But then the mom won't touch her maybe bc we handled the kitten without gloves. After sniffing the baby, the mom stayed away. I still feel guilty leaving the kitty like that.
I found a baby mouse outside in the back alley, it was freezing and starving to death, completely abandoned. I look after it every 2 hours with puppy milk and a tiny syringe I got from the pharmacy. I cant look after it over night so it doesn't get fed then :( it's still here 3 days later.
Once I found a family of mice in my cupboard and I scared away the parents, not realising they had babies. I looked after the babies as best I could, but I think they were growth-stunted or something, because after a week they just died. I hope you have really healthy mice and can release them back where you found them!
I tried to do this once...then my ex's mother found them and killed them...broke my heart... :(
Please keep us posted on these lil babies.
I love 💕 the look of the milk on the whiskers and the waving little tiny baby 🐾 feet.
i just rescued a 2 day old field mouse pup from a driveway. I've had him 36 hours and he's eating, pooping/peeing and warm! All life, no matter how small and abundant, is precious! I'll post a video sometime today of Charlie :)
woke up this morning to find 5 Fox cubs and presumably their mum in my garden! is there anything we could do to help them?
But.. Didn't you fed baby mice to another animal??
Why do you choose to save these mice, but feed other mice to your birds? What's your thinking on this?
what did you feed them milk or something I need to know fast because I saved 4 from my garden and they are hungry
so when you have birds of prey or other animals at your shelter, you sometimes have to feed them mice. isnt that very awkward
I have pet mice. They're cute. They eat anything I don't want.
+Nightshader I know right !!😊☺🐀
Cute, but what exactly do you do with them? At what point are they no longer in need of your care and where do they go?
They may be annoying in your house but they are also an important part of the food chain/ecosystem.
Using a watercolor brush would make it alot easier to feed them
I got a baby mouse last night from my neighbor and I did not get the mother with it what do I feed it?????
How long should a feeding session last (when the tummy looks full, or ?
Hey what if they were killed by pest controls in the wild? .--.
AWWWWWWWW there soo cute!!! i love mice ^^ there so small, cute and fluffy, I don't know why people are scared of them, but people have there own reasons i guess.
So cute. Please tell me they made it. Baby mice and rats are have to be hard to raise and be taken care of.
I just watched a video of someone rescuing an eagle who fed it mice.
Aww. I have pet mice. I love my little guys.

OMG THERE SO CUTE 😱
Wonderful!
good video it made my day
Adorable!!
There are so cute
Thanks you guys sooo much for saving everything you can!!! Most people hate mice, but I feel that if you look at a mouse thinking it has a disease right away, then that's like looking at a person saying they're a murderer. Every life matters!
adorable
omg how cute!
Second
aww cute :)
4th
Oh my goodness, those are the tiniest little heads I've ever seen!! Sooooo SWEET. Thank you 💕
What are you feeding them? It looked like water?
+Velvet & Studs It's a special milk formula :)
I wonder if they will be released back into the wild when old enough or will they become someone Pet?
All of our patients are released back into the wild when they have recovered. We don't keep any animal in captivity )
Thank you so much for caring for mice. I had to put my little girl down yesterday because of an autoimmune disorder that attacked her skin. I hope they will have a long, happy life.
very cute...🤗🤗🤗 i also rescue them as a wild-life rehabber in the states... their is no discrimination when it comes to orphan wild-life they all get a second chance...😍
