It has been done,but is hard and in many cases they don't survive.How old is the fuzzy?

I know little about raising mice but...Whatever you feed it, make sure its high in protein, but not ridiculously. That and keep it warm and snug.

depending on what you would feed it to, you may be able to freeze it and then when ready to feed thaw it and warm it up to about normal body temp. My water dragon would eat them like that but only if they were warm all teh way thru

I have heard of people using kitten milk replacer. Its pretty high protein. YOu need an eye dropper or very small syringe to feed it. What would be best is to take it back to the pet store and see if the mom will take it back. If you get saddled with it, i am pretty sure it will needot be fed almost every hour or so, day and night, to stay alive.
