Poor little mouse! :( It's wonderful that you are giving him a home, and you seem like you would be a good owner because of how worried you are. Mice are nocturnal so they sleep during the day. My mice do not wake up until 7pm. As far as food and water, my mice eat very little compared to the hamsters I've had, and one does not drink much and two drink a lot. Some foods my mice like are sunflower seeds, uncooked oatmeal (their favorite!), yogurt covered timothy hay treats, and carrots. Try these to get your mouse to eat. But I would put them in the cage and leave in case the mouse is afraid if you. He may be too scared to eat around people. Sunflower seeds should normally not be fed often, but I say since he's not eating sunflower seeds are good for now. Since he lost a tooth, I would take off the shell for him. And for water, half a grape is good. Grapes are watery. But not a whole grape or your mouse may get diarrhea. Bird millet spray is another good treat. Because the mouse was abused, go very slowly with taming. Good luck :)

dying little cute fuzzy mouse. opinion?
you have 2 options: 1. take it to your local vet, they will either treat it or humanely euthanise it (you wont be billed because it is not your pet). 2. humanely euthanise it yourself. unfortunately, the only humane methods are the unpleasant 'hands-on' methods. whats nicer for you (like freezing) is worse for the mouse. here is a quick method: - hold it by the BASE of the tail over a table ledge, so that just its front feet are touching it. - place a pen or pencil or something similar over the back of the neck. - simulataneously press down with the pen/pencil, and pull up with the tail. this MUST be a short, sharp movement. This will snap the mouses neck, and it is dead in under a second (unlike freezing which will take at LEAST several minutes, and WILL cause pain and suffering in the meantime). hope this helps

my mouse stops working and hesitates?
You should not use alcohol on any rubber. It dries it out.If the mouse is sluggish. Go to control Panel and Mouse. And adjust the mouse. It might be a little slow, or the tracking on the screen may be off. Try that

So i just got a baby mouse yesterday?
You need a glass aquarium to keep the mouse in. They can get through bars pretty easily, mine did. They are teeth grow pretty fast so get them some woodblocks to chew on. A water bottle with suction cups so that it sticks to the aquarium is also needed. If he is still too young to learn to drink from that you will have to get him a small dish for water but make sure to check on it a couple times a day as mice like to put stuff in there water. Also he needs some kind of bedding. I would suggest shavings but do not get cedar shavings. PETCO has their own brand of shavings which has all non-toxic woods and it is biodegradable. I would also get him some fluff too so that he can stay warm. Get him a little place to hide in. They have little houses at any pet store. An exercise wheel will also be needed so that he can burn energy and also get him a hamster ball so that he can travel around for fun and while you clean out his tank. As far as food goes I recommend a mix made especially for mice, rats, and gerbils that contains hard corn in it as that is something they like to eat. Be sure to get him some kind of treat too. They love to play with toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls. You can also use paper towels as temporary bedding if you can not get out to the store right away. Do not use newspaper as some can be toxic to them. And also give him lots of love!
