Question
Okay this may sound wierd but whatever im desprate for this little one to live. I found a baby mouse that has hair, but eyes arn't open. i dont have pet milk for her, and i know cow milk can kill, sooooo i am pegnant and producing colostrum, i have researched in depth to find out if it would be okay to put a couple of drops in a eye dropper to feed her untill i can get pet milk. Is it nutritious or poison please respond ASAP!! thanks

Answer
No, not a good idea.   Soy baby formula or soy milk is all you need. Its sweet you want to help her but its really hard to keep a tiny mouse that age alive.  Not only do they need fed every two hours they also need to be kept very very warm, they need to have you make them urinate and defecate since they cannot do this alone. I am going to assume you have read up on all of this?
