    Uh-Oh
    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 :(

    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.
