Is it possible to tame a wild mouse or should this very young one be
released? Advice from anyone who may know?

TIA

AJ

If you need to bottle feed the mouse, you might be able to tame it. If it is
already active, semi independant from the mother, it may be much more
difficult.
Depending on the species, you also need to be concerned about diseases such as
hanta virus which you could get from dust contaminated with dried feces or
urine from the mouse.

Best to put it back where you found it and let it fend for itself.

OK, thanks. It is a small housemouse that was trapped in the basement and
the kids hate to let it out in the cold. Nice looking little creature. We
have it in a 10 gal. tank but it hides all the time and never seems to eat
that we can see. I'd rather let it go in the spring but probably would be to
late by then.

Thanks again for the advice.

AJ

You may have success trying to tame it.Though it may take longer than a
domesticated one would. You should be able to do it. I was always able to
tame just about anything..
