I think it will be hard, but I'm happy you'll try. Often baby animals are allergic or have bad reactions to cow milk. Try giving them lukewarm drops of soymilk or special 'anti allergy' baby formula (non dairy) every hour. Also keep them warm, make a 'nest' in a small box with soft material etc.
Good luck.

You can go to any Petco, or Petsmart and find a milk replacement supplement, that you can put into a bottle, and feed to them. Make sure they are warm all the time, if they get seperated, or cold, it's easy for them to die. The best thing to do for now, is find an box, shoebox or something smaller. The ideal nestbox for them would have sawdust and straw in the bottom, with a lot of fur or wool, around the babies, and on top of them. Since most people don't have that laying around their house, put ripped up newspaper in the bottom, with some stuffing, like from an old pillow, or somthing, , even the fuzz of your sweater. It's not a good idea to clip the hair off your pet dog or cat, and put in in there, because the scent from it wil probably scare the poor little guys. anyway, make sure to keep them warm, and keep them fed, and mae sure when you put them into the nestbox, to have the stuffing all around them, even on top of them, but make sure it's not too thick, and they can breeth. Eventually, or in abotu 10-14 days, their eyes should start opening, and then they'll get fur, and start venturing out of their nestbox, so you'll want to be prepared for that, and make sure they won't jump out and fall onto the floor. Anyway, good luck with them! And make sure not to feed them regular milk, like cows milk, it's bad for their digestive system at that young of an age, because it's way different than the milk from a mouse. Good Luck!!

take then to the local vet as soon as you can, there isn't much of a chance that they will be ok if they are so small. or get a small syringe and by puppy/kitten milk it comes in a powder form like baby milk and make that as directed, in the united kingdom that is called lactol. it is really good ask in your local petshop they should sell something like that. other than that keep them really really warm and together. if you cant purchase any kind of lactol, warm some milk up and feed them witha syringe. oh and they LOVE weetabix/porridge with warm milk on but not to hot. thats what kept our baby mouse going along woth the lactol. our mouse is over 1 yr now. they are only sposed 2 live about 3 months in the wild. well any way good luck hope your 2 do as gd as mine!

If you can't find the mother put them in a warm place (maybe in a room with a heater) but not too hot. I would feed them kitten milk formula (u can buy them at the store) and use an eye dropper. I know this might sound of time-consuming but its the best thing for them. If not then feed them white bread dipped in warm milk (little chunks); theyll have difficulty eating it because they can't see but I'd try to assist them. Well hope I helped. Good luck sweety!

Supplement feed with higher protein and fat foods, such as dog biscuit, small pieces of cooked meat etc.. Give lots of millet and sunflower seeds, which are nutritious and tasty. You could also offer natural yoghurt, bread soaked in skimmed milk (or water and powdered milk, which is cheaper).

Do not offer milk, milk substitutes or animal formula to baby or young mice unless there is a serious medical problem, or you are hand-rearing them. Their bodies are designed to thrive on mouse milk, not cow milk. The milk of other species is unnecessary, and could damage their health in the long-run as well as the short-term.

We know that humans fed formula milk are more likely to suffer from a range of health problems; the same almost certainly applies to other mammals.

Sorry hun ; but if they are that young
then they are probably going to die from
not enough heat & lack of nutrients & such they
get from their mother. Your best bet to have them
live is it take them to an animal hospital or shelter
to see what they can do or if they CAN do anything.
If they are that young - well I dont think the chances
are too great but hey, miracles happen. I hope they
end up ok - good luck.

The chances of you successfully rearing the two mice are slim leave them so that the mother can take care of them. if you know that the mother is dead then you could try a kitten or puppy replacement milk and a eye dropper and feed them every two to three hours.

Put them in a box with cotton balls to keep them warm. Try filling a container with warm water and wrap a blanket around it. Then put that in the box for the mice to lie on. Put a ticking clock with it so they think it's their mothers heartbeat. I agree with the suggestion of soymilk. Good luck!
