Question

im bottle feeding baby mice goats milk. yea i know it sounds wierd but it works anyway should i let them go or will they not be used to the wild when they are grown up???? i have them inside a hamster cage rite now.

Answer 1

It&#039;s really up to you. Were they wild when you found them, or were they domestic? If they were born in the wild, there&#039;s a better chance they&#039;ll survive. They still won&#039;t have very good chances in the wild just because they won&#039;t have a parent to teach them how to forage for food, escape predators, etc. If they were domestic, they have pretty much zero chance they&#039;ll survive.

I&#039;d keep them, a hamster cage is fine. Just make sure that if it&#039;s a cage with bars, they aren&#039;t too wide because mice can squeeze through really small spaces. =) Mice are great fun once they grow up.

If you do decide to keep them, you&#039;ll have to seperate them as soon as they&#039;re not being bottle fed any more. The saying &quot;breed like mice&quot; isn&#039;t a joke. You&#039;ll have dozens of inbred babies in no time unless you find out *all* of their genders and make sure the males and females can&#039;t access each other.

keep them if you put them in the wild they wont know what to to and will die right in front of you probably

Answer 3

I had some baby mice that I found in a barn when I was younger.  I fed them powdered milk, until they were old enough.  I ended up keeping them as pets, and there wasn&#039;t a noticable difference in them, or mice I have had that were from the pet store.  If you set them free, they will have no one to teach them what to do, and more than likely will not survive.  One thing that may happen when they get older, is they may fight and you will have to keep them separated.  This doesn&#039;t always happen though. Good luck :)
