Uh-Oh

[JordyB101]

So my best female breeder mouse died this morning and left a week old litter behind, how do i take care of them without them dying, any help would be good. 4 other mice in there with them to see how it would go then took out 1 of the hostile ones. it seem to be going good but i dont think they can feed them.

Unless you have another nursing mother in there who can foster them, they will die or get eaten, sorry

feed them off or freeze for later

Seems like others have covered the option of euthanasia. It is very hard to hand raise mice, but if you want to give hand raising a chance, I'll post a link for an excellent care sheet for orphaned mice. I have personally used this method and most of the litter survived. I ended up losing two babies out of 13.
