My sisters just found an abandoned wild baby mouse outside on our farm and we want to make sure that he lives and is okay. We don't know what kind of milk is okay to feed him. We aren't able to get to the store so we have to make due with what we have. We have regular milk, lactose-free milk, evaporated milk, and fresh sheep milk. Can this mouse have any of this? What should we do?? HELP

UPDATE: he just passed a couple of minutes ago.

For future reference, if they have fur and open eyes they will do better on wet kibble. Dry dog food, cat food, or some kind of grain based feed, soaked in water until it is gooey mush--even human cereal. Baby mice grow up really fast and cold, dehydration, and lack of calories are usually what kills them, in that order. I have managed domesticated mouse breeding colonies indoors for over a decade, we still lose weanlings when they fail to drink enough, or can't keep warm.

That said, most wild critters will just panic, and as @kusanar314 says, they frequently do not make it.
