You can make "milk" of rice or oats by squeezing the water of rice or oats with a clean cloth. I mix oats or rice milk with other formulas for babies who may be noisy eaters. It is advisable to keep pediatric and distilled water handy during breastfeeding.
What kind of milk do you give to your baby mouse?
Prepare a formula to feed the mice. Your local pet store offers a variety of powdered milk options that you can use to feed your baby's mice, such as kitten milk replacement and esbilac. Human prescription Enfamil (a type that does not contain iron) and Soyalac can also be used. The whole raw goat milk also nourishes the baby.
What can I give my baby mouse if I don't have infant formula?
Moisten a commercial hamster food, rice or kitten food with a small amount of water, goat milk or kitten milk powder until tender. Baby rats also enjoy peeled cooked peas, cooked carrots, pumpkins or other tender vegetables. Human baby food is suitable for mice and will be gentle on the mouse stomach.
Do baby mice need milk?
