Hi!

Let me give you both a link to when I have answered this question previously:

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Mice-3824/2011/7/orphan-mouse-found-raise.htm

and a link to a wonderful video about raising babies:

If you look at the other videos by this person you will find about five about raising orphans. It is definitely worth it to watch all of them. There is usually a lot more information than the titles suggest.

If you have any questions not covered by these sources, let me know right away.

Good luck!
