  1. If their eyes are open and they have all their fur then chances are they're weaned which means they'll eat solid foods. I wouldn't worry bout the size of their mouths since they'll nibble at it instead of bite it. Some things to give them are seeds like pumpkin seeds, chicken grain, oats (stuff you use to make porridge), grass seeds, bread (multi-grain not white), any type of melon like honey-dew or rock-melon, carrots, lettuce, pumpkin. NO CHEESE, it'll kill them. Pretty much just try things like different seeds, grains, berries and fruits. You'll soon find out what they'll eat and what they won't. If you can try and buy some special mouse food from a local pet shop, its usually pretty cheap. Also give them a thin woody branch or stick in their cage for them to naw on, otherwise their teeth will over-grow and cause serious problems. Hope this helps, good luck.


  2. Just give them some stuff!   no really put them back where you found them you shouldn't have taken them in the first place the mom is probably going nuts trying to find them!
