    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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. :shrug01: 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.
