HELP!!!!!!! Baby Mice!

I found these baby Mice under my pool deck huddling next to their dead mother I'm a ball python breeder and an animal lover so I couldnt let these guys die. Their eyes arn't even open yet!!!!!!! If anybody could tell me how to care for them it would be great!

There's no telling what diseases or parasites they might be harboring. Sometimes it's best to let nature take it's course.

But if you're dead set on fostering them, a momma mouse with a litter under her would be the way to go.

If you don't already breed rodents, your guess is as good as mine. I'm not sure you can bottle feed mice, and I don't know what you'd give them if you could. Esbilac? They look way too young to try and wean them though.

Found a few links for you. I haven't had the chance to go over them for solid info, but it's a start. Apparently you can handfeed these guys. I've handfed a lot of baby birds and small mammals (squirrels mostly), but I can't even begin to imagine what a pain feeding a mouse would be.

Kept the micelings alive for over a day, they hated the suringe so I put the milk on the floor of their cage and they seem to be lapping it up well!

Yes, they all made it but the runt who refused to drink, I let them go about 3 days after their eyes opened!
