Question
My sister found three baby feild mice in out garage. I beleive they are new borns because their eyes are not open yet and they can barely move around. We have them in a box under sum light cloths to keep them warm, but we are not sure what we should feed them or if we should feed them at all... what do we do?

Answer
Dear Taryn,

It sounds like they are a couple of days old.  A lot of people actually have success raising baby wild mice if they want to put the work into it. Here is a previous answer of mine about raising mice:
