i have a mouse, and i need it to stay alive for the next couple days for feeding day, how can i keep it from dieing?

Place it in a plastic Tupperware-style tub with air holes. Give it a small bowl of water and some dogfood, cereal, unsalted nuts, vegetables. You really don't need much for just a couple of days and they will eat a variety of food.

Bowl of water + mouse = ungodly mess. Get a water bottle.

Same here, but Wal-mart has water bottles for $1.97, plus you can get your tupperware at the same time.

If you feed dog food, get one of the premium brands. I go for the ones that have 20% or less protein and that don't have corn in the first five ingredients. Nutro Lite is a good variety.

i bought a hopper yesterday morning, and i wanst home all day/night and when i got back he died.. so i had to get another mouse this morning. would it have been bad if I fed my BP that dead mouse?

[Shelby]

I wouldn't. You don't know how it died.. and if it was laying around dead all day it would have started to decompose.
