Young Mouse

Question
Hello I found a small mouse and I'm guessing it's young because it's quite small. The first day it was energetic and I fed it some pumpkin seeds and water but now all it does it curl up in a nest I made for it and sleep. Had I done anything wrong?

Answer
It is very hard to keep an orphaned mouse alive without help from a female mouse. If you do not have that option here are some great sites that give formula recipes, feeding charts, ect that will help you :)
