Thosa are all awesome suggestions, these days I'm gonna try them all. I'm hoping for the best, he doesn't seem too hungry but he likes to taste food for a good minute every now and then. He's more interested in investigating around the cage I think

sweet little baby mouse. there is excellent advice here. i'd say he has a good chance of making it, he's definitely malnourished but nothing he can't recover from if it's just a matter of giving him food. there is always the possibility that he has an absorption problem but we won't even entertain that idea! we're all rooting for him!

Hi, sorry if I'm updating you only now but I needed to take care of myself and get better. Unfortunately Sunday morning I found that my little one had passed. I still can't believe it, I miss him so much. He was the happiest and most loving little creature, I had a special bond with him and I really hoped he could make it. My heart is missing a mouse-shaped piece. I know I gave him the best life he could have, thank you again for everything you all did for me and him. I'm truly grateful. It's been a long journey, full of joy and pain but now it's over.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. You did everything you could. How are your two girls doing? Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you

they seem fine except one of them (not the mom) has problems opening one of her eyes. She eventually does but I'm sure it's not a good thing. I'm gonna bring them to the vet as soon as she can visit them. I'm so tired of seeing them suffer, I'm never gonna buy again from a pet store :/ The thing is I live in a small island in Italy and here there aren't breeders, so after my two girls I won't have mice until I move from here.

Hope all goes well at the vet. Keep us posted. What type of bedding do you use?

As far as getting mice from pet shops, I had gotten my male mouse from PETsMART and he lived to be a little over two years and was never sick a day in his life. So ya just never know.
