Do they have supplies I could get for it at the pet store to keep him alive? I have been feeding him warm milk for the past couple hours, but thats only skim. And, he is still so young his eyes aren't open. I want to help him! HELP!

Here is a link for you.It tells you everything you need to know.Make sure to read all of it,because the first part deals with baby mice being fostered by another mouse,but further down,it tells what to do on your own.

They will have things to help you keep him alive at the pet store. You can buy orphaned animal milk and bottles for feeding him. A cage with extra small bar spacing and buy some mouse food and see if he'll eat it. If not keep feeding him with the bottle/ eye dropper once every two hours. Good luck, and you can call your local vet, they can tell you what to do to keep him alive.

Yes, the pet store should have a cage and food and everything you would need to keep it. Good luck, and I hope your efforts are successful. This is hard to do, cos sometimes when the mother abandons the babies, it is because they know they are sick and aren't going to make it, so if it doesn't live, it isn't your fault. You are doing everything you can, and if it is going to make it, it will have a great chance with you helping.

Rehabilitation center. They'll take care of him. I took a baby screech owl to a center once, and he was set free in a few weeks. It's the best thing for the young animal.

When they're older, mice often like Cheerios and/or Froot Loops, so maybe it will eat milk-softened O's or even dry ones.
I've heard of Rat Chow, but I've never sought it out.
