I would search wild Mouse on the internet. I know that pet mice eat nuts and pretty much everything but I am not sure about wild ones.

Mice are omnivours. They will eat anything.

You shoud get the little guy into a safe cage (no bars at this young an age). Even a deepish rubbermade tub will do for now). Put bedding in the cage and lots of hiding spaces...toilet and paper towel tubes will do.

Give him a mix of Guinea Pig food and if you have a dog some dog food (cat food will work), so will bird seed. A shallow dish with water will do for now but a water bottle will be best...a small one for his little mouth.

Be quiet and patiant. He may never become tame but perhaps you can keep him alive long enough to relocate him. Good luck.

My neighbours found a little baby mouse once.
They put him in an icecream container and put a milk cap filled with, you guessed it, milk and put some warm towels in there.

Did it live?

Let's just say the dogs got to it before they did...
Once again, not leaving much to the imagination.

I think that it could have lived but their dog... Ya know.
The same dog killed one of their guinea pigs yesterday. Poor Genevieve was so sad.

Uh oh... That makes me think of what I did yesterday... I feel terrible.
A couple of weeks ago, one of their pigs escaped and JUMPED off the BALCONY. GG wasn't supposed to know but when she said to me yesterday,
"Have you heard about the guinea pig?"
I said "You mean the one that jumped off the balcony?" Because I thought she just found out but she went...
"WHAT???"
