I just caught myself a baby pet mouse in my basement, and I need help. - General

Put it in liquid nitrogen and then smash the cadaver with a hammer. And film it, please.

[QUOTE=alexk;17306988]i have had a hamster for 5 years, so i know what to do put the cage in a somewhat-quite place were they get 12-hours sun and night(nocturnal) move the stuff in the cage around every week when you clean it (there very curious) just put some food on the ground of the cage at first, then start putting it into a bowl keep water in a bowl and have a water dispecner(optional, nver drank out of a water dispencer so keep a bowl) don't eat it[/QUOTE] make sure you have a little house in there with him if there is sun out also go to a small animal vet and get him checked out to see if he has any diseases

Maybe you should find someone that takes care of animals or something. My dad found 3 baby squirrels and he found some girl that took care of a shit ton of animals ( Birds, 5 other squirrels, a FUCKING Bobcat, etc)

[QUOTE=Swebonny;17307145]not smart at all. who knows what kind of diseases it carries. Do the best for both the mouse and yourself. Release it into the wild and let nature take care of it.[/QUOTE] Place your bets guys... Snake Goliath beatle Falcon

There's no harm in keeping it, it probably doesn't have any diseases. It's usually rats which carry disease.

I'm worried if my parents find it, I'm fucked.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;17307145]not smart at all. who knows what kind of diseases it carries. Do the best for both the mouse and yourself. Release it into the wild and let nature take care of it.[/QUOTE] Just ask a pet forum/pet store what to do.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;17306419]Basement living mouse is totally wild living. They are already domesticated by the fact they are living in our buildings, eating our leftovers.[/QUOTE] That's not being domesticated...

He's much happier than he was when I first found him. He's exploring his tiny little bucket right now. Tomorrow my older sister's boyfriend is bringing me a cage for him.

if i make a mess in the kitchen i call my dog in and he cleans up everything i let him eat the left over food on the dishes so i dont have 2 waste time scraping it off

[QUOTE=BulletofHell;17307223]I'm worried if my parents find it, I'm fucked.[/QUOTE] tell them his mom left him and he was lonely

[QUOTE=BulletofHell;17307223]I'm worried if my parents find it, I'm fucked.[/QUOTE] By keeping such small creature in your room? Beat them to death

[QUOTE=BulletofHell;17307254]He's much happier than he was when I first found him. He's exploring his tiny little bucket right now. Tomorrow my older sister's boyfriend is bringing me a cage for him.[/QUOTE] more pics please

Start a string cheese business and have him as the cheese tester.

He or she is lovely.

[QUOTE=BulletofHell;17307169]By having a hawk rip it to pieces?[/QUOTE] Yes, would you stop a lion from getting the antelope? Would you stop the wolf from killing lambs?

The wolf yes, with my fence. For the lion, no.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;17306980]In other news a rash outbreak of bubonic plague has been linked to a pet mouse.[/QUOTE] Neither Mice nor rats themselves carry the plague, it was the fleas on Rats. Make sure he gets plenty of water and fresh fruit, until you can go down to the pet store and buy more suitable food.

Great, cause we don't get wool and shit from mice. Edit: Then of course it's up to you. Don't stress it or it might die.

Let it go, if it comes back to you then you can keep it

D'aaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww

Noticed this [IMG]http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m178/bloodybird2k6/babynapper.png[/IMG]

N'aawwwww. Keep the little guy, he's a cutey :)

[QUOTE=Joxalot;17306953]If you let him go, probably he will be devoured by a falcon[/QUOTE] I lol'd

D'awwwwwww! I'm all for you keeping it. Just make sure it has a bowl to wash in.

[QUOTE=lettuce_head;17307451]N'aawwwww. Keep the little guy, he's a cutey :)[/QUOTE] Thats just what he wants you to think! Then, when your back is turned. BAM.

Awww its sooo cute! I want one :3

Play baseball with it, your bound to hit a homerun.

Ok, so if you're only using a cup for him to live in I suggest you find a better solution. Fishtank's are good cheap idea's. They have ton's of room for your little buddy to move around in. For bedding, just use newspaper shreads for now. Like put like 4 or 5 sections in a paper shredder and should be good. They'll eat anything, but you need to watch out. I suggest grape's, cabbage/lettuce, sunflower seeds, and corn kernals. (I have a hamster, I know this shit pretty well)
