I need some urgent advice on hand feeding babies;

~ What's the youngest you've successfully hand reared?
~ What temperature do they need to be at?
~ What did you feed them/how often/how?
~ How did you get them to poop/how often?

I have three of a vital litter left but they're tiny. I'm not holding out much hope.

I could probably find a doe to feed them.If they survive the night and you can get here you can try.What happened to the Mother?

just outside the City centre,near Abbey Park/the Blackbird pub.The offers there if you think it's worth it although it sounds doubtful

Its been a bad couple of weeks for mousie death DX. I was looking forward to this litter. The next are likely to be still born, since the mother got an infected eye and had to be put on baytril .

you can get anti biotic eye drops from the chemist,over the counter that are safe for mice.Chloramphenicol in drops or cream.Use that next time.
