Found a baby mouse in my garage. We couldn't see or find mom and she seems to have abandoned it. Its a holiday and all the pet stores are closed. I looked up that it needs to eat kitten formula but we cant get any. is there anything else we could feed it to save it?

Almond milk works in a pinch

Thanks we have been able to get it to eat. Its living in a shoe box right now. Does anyone know how old they are when they get fur? This one has fur and we are trying to figure out how old it is. It has fur but the eyes have not opened yet.

Fur and kinda wobbles around? A little less than 2 weeks, give or take? I found mine at that age, and his eyes opened 2 days later

Thanks. He seems to be doing well I think I'm gonna need to move it to a cage. Its starting to get a bit adventurous and I'm afraid its gonna climb out of the box. Thanks for your help

Aww, good luck with your mouse!! Keep him warm! I hope he does well and gets big and strong. He must be a cutie.

I am sure that he will appreciate having the extra space to stretch himself out in and still stay safe.
