Found Abandoned Baby Mouse in House

21 15:32:24

Question
I found a baby mouse yesterday.  I actually thought it was
dead at first, but it just seemed scared.  I didn't have
the heart to put it outside as it has a hard time getting
around.  I guess I just adopted a baby mouse!!  I know
NOTHING about them.  He seems to have a front crippled foot
(?).  I fed him baby formula until I can get to a pet store
and brought him with me to work today.  He seems to shake a
lot.  Signed, Clueless

Answer
Dear Susan,

You should get him KMR (kitten milk).  I describe foundling mouse care in this post:

Best of luck and don't hesitate to send more questions!
