    This exact same thing happened to me! I live trapped a "large" mouse last fall but the weather forecast was horrible so I thought I'd be nice and wait a couple days before releasing him/her. Suddenly there were 5 babies in the enclosure. I kept and fed them all for WEEKS until they were ready to be released. The night before I was going to let them go, they all escaped into my house. On the plus side, I'm pretty sure they never wanted to see me again because there was zero evidence of them after. I guess my 5 star mouse hotel and gourmet meals wasn't to their liking. The things we do.

      Because they probably all DIED because you aren't a mouse and they never learned to survive without a human so releasing them just killed them. Which is What you should have let happen in the first place because that is called mother nature and darwinism and playing God by trying to help baby house mice pests survive is just for your own personal ego and not for the benefits of their species. Baby mice die my the thousands everyday and that is ok because that maintains the natural order of things. And yes you trapping them is also part of the natural order of things because people have existed in the same ecosystem as mice for 100s of thousands of years.

    Having done this before, I will warn you, as they are wild mice there will come a point where its time to let them go. You'll know cause they'll suddenly start getting anxious and acting wild and trying to escape from you when they were fine being held before. This is just because they are not domesticated, and thus their little brains are hardwired to being in the wild. Also once they get to eating real food, try finding any local nuts and seeds and grasses around you to feed them, that will help show them what to eat when they are set free :D Good luck!

      @@tatertots-n-soup Being born in captivity does not make them a domesticated species, and thus, they still have all the instincts and tendencies of a wild mouse. This will most likely result in them not being well suited to a life in captivity. When I raised a few baby mice they hit a point where they clearly became stressed and anxious because they were not wired to live in an enclosed space.
      It does not matter what you do, if you take an animal that has not gone through the process of domestication (something that is a long process taking generations of selective breeding) they will always be a wild animal, and while they may do okay in captivity with a lot of work, it is always always best to aim to return them to where they belong.

      @@tatertots-n-soup imagine you bringing home and taking care of a wild cat. It will not be domesticated because it’s genetics are wild. Whether or not an animal is domesticated or not has to do with the genetics and not the individual animal. A “wild” animal could act very friendly but you would never call it domesticated. A friendly lion is still a wild cat not a domesticated one. Domestication happens over a long course of time long enough for them to evolve. Born in captivity just means that it was born while it wasn’t in the wild. This does not affect the genes of the animal. As an individual human, we are not able to domesticate an animal. It happens over the course of hundreds and thousands of years. There is a certain wildness that you can not take out of a wild animal no matter if it was wild caught or born in captivity. The wildness originates from its genetics, something we cannot change.

      Yess! Exactly! And now they are wild mice with no survival skills and will just get eaten or die of starvation with a day or 2 of being released.
      This whole thing is dumb! And cruel. Just for some cute CZcams video and to make yourself feel better - it's not cute, you shouldn't mess with nature and natural selection, and you shouldn't domesticated wild animals that you don't intend to keep their whole life because these mice now know to like and trust humans instead of being naturally afraid with them. If something doesn't eat them, the next person's house they run into will kill them.

      Yes, its common for rodent moms to go off in search of food or a safer (to them) place for their babies and if she got out but count get back in she mightve just deemed them lost and left. I used to raise rats, rodents are so intelligent and great escape artists. And if Hanna sees this... Those babies will find a way to escape that cage once they start being able to climb.

    Mice can be weaned from the mother around 21 days old, that's probably when you can switch them to harder foods, or at least moist solid foods if they seem a bit too small. Also to sex them, check the distance between the genitals and the anus (anogenital distance). If the distance is short, it's female. If the distance is longer and there's more fur in between, it's male. You can also check this at around 21 days. There are a lot of photos online too! Once they hit around 60 days, they will start to breed, so you might need to separate them or get the males neutered.

    Paper bedding, or aspen are great - not pine shavings as oils are toxic.
    Avoid cotton wool as the fibres can be ingested and get wrapped around limbs.
    Kiddie craft glue and aquarium sealant are safe.
    Bird seeds/sunflower seeds etc to eat, occasional fruits, occasional protein liked chicken, boiled egg or meal worms.
    Lots of recycled packaging and junk to play and hide in, prey animals need to feel safe.

    I understand your predicament. I think it's wonderful that you decided to care for the orphaned babies. I think you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat animals. Last year I was cleaning my chicken coop in the fall, and accidentally disturbed a mouse nest with 5 pinky babies! Mom ran away, but I covered it back up and waited at a distance for Mom to come back. She never did, and it was cold out... after a few hours they were at risk of dying from exposure. (I googled how long pinkies can survive without Mom and it was getting close to that time limit.) Fortunately I'm a retired vet tech, and already had small syringes and bottles I've used to feed orphaned squirrel kits. So my husband ran out to the store for me for kitten formula while I set up their nest in a pocket pet carrier with a heating pad beneath it. I bottle fed all 5 and raised them to adulthood with minimal handling to keep them wild. I soft released them at the edge of my property in the woods with a sturdy wooden mouse house (much like a bird house) that we had built for them and they were already used to sleeping in. Since they didn't have a food stash like wild mice make we put food out within foraging distance to their house every day all winter, until spring and wild berries were out. Every now and then at dusk I could see them running and playing by their house. Hopefully they'll live long happy wild mouse lives. : ) I had never bottle fed something so small before! But I'm glad we didn't let them die. Many of my friends though I was crazy, but like you I just can't ignore an animal in need. And now I can sleep at night knowing I did my best for them. : ) Enjoy your mouse babies! Oh, and a small warning Hannah: if there are multiple males they might have to get separated when they reach adulthood if they fight. And if there's a female you'll have more babies fast if she isn't separated. If you choose to release them, you can do a soft release by putting their enclosure outside with food, let them decide to leave when they are ready, and then remove the enclosure one it's empty but keep putting food out for a few days until they learn how to forage. Feeding them items they can find in the wild will help teach them what to look for. Things like seeds, berries, mealworms, and local nuts in shells like walnut and hickory nuts. Hope that helps!

    I also have a mouse (once even two mice) every spring/summer in my apartment. The current one doesn't fall for my life trap. I am now worried that she is having babies in my bedroom and will disappear and leave me with some squeaky furry babies.

    You're the sweetest and not in the slightest bit stupid. When so many of us are afraid to, you're trying and learning. You're creating a beautiful life for yourself. And your willingness not only to try new things but open yourself up to the judgement of strangers is a freakin superpower. Today I'm doing instead of planning and analyzing and you're to thank for that.

    Pro Tip: If you flip your circular saw blade and cut with the back of the teeth, when cutting plastics, it is way smoother and doesn’t create “shrapnel” as you mentioned.

On top of all of that feeding and being up every night, here you are creating beautiful little toys and things for them in the future! I have rescued many squirrels, birds, possums, etc in my 20 years here in St Louis. I also help trap, spay, neuter and house and feed feral city cats. I could not be more thrilled that you have such a huge heart for wildlife! I am hooked on watching how these little guys will grow and what will happen to them in the future!

    This is some perhaps useful information about hantavirus from someone that had it last year.
    Your risk of getting it while renovating the cabins is the highest. Breathing in dust containing mice residues is the number one reason people get hanta. Nevertheless you can get it anywhere where mice live that carry the virus. I randomly got it last year simply because I was outside for a few hours in an high risk area. I went to the hospital to be monitored (this is the European health care standart in case you are in need of dialysis). Wasn't fun but everything went fine and I didn't need anything apart from pain medication due to the very strong headaches I had which made me nauseous.
    If you ever feel sick, have a huge urge to drink water and suddenly are peeing a lot less than you should, then please go to hospital as soon as possible. This is the symptom you get if you have kidney failure and there is a high probability that you are in need of dialysis. If it is hanta it is only temporary and will be just fine after your body has battled the infection. But if left untreated you can get permanent kidney failure and worst case even kill you.
    Best protection against hanta is to wear a face mask when dealing with dusty situations.
    If you get hantavirus a huge plus is that you get a high probability of beeing able to fight off other variants or getting a mild case. If it's the European variant you also have a high probability of a life long immunity against this variant.
    I personally am happy that I had it because of the benefits i now have while traveling. But I am well aware that I am very privileged due to the public health care system here.
    Fun fact's: A lot of people had it without even knowing because they didn't have any symptoms. You can get tested for immune cells.

They each have such unique personalities, their little movements and how they move, eat and sleep is so sweet. Mice are so cute. 🐭🐀🐾💘

    You are so wonderful for taking care of her babies❣🥰 😍 i absolutely LOVE what you've done so far!!! My first thought was maye the momma mouse had to get out so she could find something to chew on to keep her evergrowing teeth trimmed and the other thing was a wooden wheel (without any wires or bumps in it, cork lining for them to run on is best) to get their energy out. I had to adopt my granddaughter's hamster, and that is something I found out was important to these adorable little rodents. I learned on CZcams how to care for him. You will find that they are very intelligent!

    Yeah I always feel slightly sad when I catch a mouse. They are cute little fellers. But they bring fleas to my dogs. And one time I caught one on the sticky pad and I felt so bad that I couldn’t get him off so I procrastinated having to smash him but when I went back outside he was eaten. Which made me realize I have 2 small (6”) owls living in my backyard. Plus mice stop being so cute when you find turds under your couch, kitchen drawers, left out food, and pots/pans. They can also chew through wires making a fire danger when they find themselves in your walls.
