Answer
Dear Shannon,

I'm definitely not a vet... but this is what I know:  The best thing to feed a baby mouse is KMR (kitten milk replacement). If that isn't working try soy milk, pedialyte, or wombat milk.  Also, many of these little orphans just don't survive, especially if they are orphaned at such an early age. If he doesn't make it it isn't your fault.

Best of luck : ))
