Hi Elise, Female mice are often nurturing to babies other than their own, but male mice will often kill a baby that is not thought to be his. Unless you have a...
Hi Paul, Thanks so much for your help. We took the mom out for a peek and some of the babies were still latched on. We could see one of them swallowing. So we...
Hi Elise, If the babies were attached, they were nursing. You can feed the mom a diet higher in fat and protein than I would normally recommend. Sunflower...

Hi Lindsay, I'm not sure what your work situation is, but you might consider taking her with you. Deb Krom knit a little hammock for her orphan to ride around...

Der Paul, I don't want her to go to this other lady, but I can't risk anything happening to her, because I can't get to her in time. For instance I am at work...
Hi Lindsay, What I was saying is that she will only need that kind of attention for another week. Mice grow up very quickly. If this lady could help out next...
