Question
just today i got a baby mouse and im pretty sure its really young because his eyes havent yet opened. im not really sure what i should feed johannes (the mouse) because ive not ever had a mouse before. though ive heard he should eat some type of seeds, im not willing to feed him that until i know for sure. so far, i tried to feed him water through a straw but he didnt like it i guess. also, i tried to mash up a raspberry for him, but after a taste of it, johannes wouldnt eat that either...i really need help out with this...

Answer
Hello Ashley, I don't blame you for being concerned about your baby mouse, I would be too. The best diet for him would be the seeds that you were speaking of. As far as water goes, at pet stores or even department stores you can purchase water bottles that are made for baby mice.

Hope this helps!!!
