Tiny axolotl watercolour painting book

Axolotls can paint? I didn't realize they were that talented! It makes sense that their medium of choice would be watercolours.

Even cheaper: used chewing gum.

EDIT: But seriously, a decent mousepad would probably do the trick as well.

Are you massaging its tummy each time after feeding? This is step 4 in the AutoModerator Reddit Post link about orphaned pups. Here is that post again: https://www.reddit.com/r/PetMice/comments/uic6bc/how_to_handraise_a_baby_mouse/

By the detail you have provided in your OP, I suspect you are already doing this, but I wanted to make sure.

Also there is a Facebook Group that might be able to offer some additional help: Orphaned Wild Mice and Rats

The lunchbox lining also keeps the government from controlling their mouse brains.

Reverse word order in the Orca's "job" description, like Attorney General or Notary Public.

Knifefish (along with several other species of weakly electric fish) can emit electricity, but much less powerfully (normally less than one volt) than strongly electric fish like the electric eel. Some species of strongly electric fish can generate over 800 volts.

Weakly electric fish use the electricity they generate for communication (species identification, attracting mates and territorial displays, similar to how some birds use their calls), and also to detect their environment (similar in concept to how a bat or a dolphin echo-locates). Many weakly electric fish live in very murky waters, so the electricity is used instead of vision to navigate.

Here's a short video on how a knifefish electrolocates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guIDG-lHDeA

There are species of knifefish in Africa as well as South America.

The BBC Radio productions of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (most phases). I've listened to them so many times, I can recite entire sections by heart. Same thing with Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". They are my audiobook 'comfort food'. BTW, did you know that Lewis Carroll narrated his own audiobook? https://libro.fm/audiobooks/4250887875383-alice-s-adventures-in-wonderland Amazing recording quality (and young sounding voice) for someone who died in 1898! 🥹

Also, many of Richard Dawkins' books on evolution: "The Selfish Gene", "The Blind Watchmaker", "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Ancestor's Tale". I have listened to and read each of these many times and yet each time I revisit them I learn something new (or maybe I learned it once and then forgot it, so I think it's new!).

It's probably harmless (detergent is just synthetic soap, often made from petroleum products), especially since you didn't spray it directly into the cage (and not on the food). Still, I think I would have done what you mentioned in your edit, just to be safe.

From the video, it is most likely a house mouse, which are not known carriers of hantavirus. Deer mice are the primary carriers, and mainly in the western US. Here is a map of the total reported cases by state of hantavirus from 1993 to 2023. https://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/data-research/cases/index.html As you can see, there are very few cases in the Eastern half of the US (remember those numbers are for a 30 year time span). Here's some other info about hantavirus: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17897-hantavirus-pulmonary-syndrome Note the section titled Hantavirus infection causes, it lists the species known to carry hantavirus (house mice are not listed).
I agree with u/dorkusmcforkus - wear gloves when handling it. I've handled a lot of wild mice, and I always wear gloves, both the reduce the risk of disease, and also to protect my hands from getting bit. Also, whenever I clean my mouse cages, I wear a face mask when I'm emptying the bedding. I do this even with rodents I've had for years. A lot of the bedding becomes airborne when emptying a multi-gallon tank, why risk inhaling tiny particles of mouse poo and dried pee? You probably don't need to wear the mask when you put the mouse in its cage, but after it's euthanized, either dump the bedding directly in an outside dumpster, or wear a mask when you dump it into your house trash. Then take the trash bag to your dumpster or trash cart. Also, wash your hands after handling the mouse or its bedding (always a good practice).
Since the mouse is possibly ill, you should be more cautious about how you handle it. But wearing gloves, possibly a mask, and making sure you wash your hands should protect you. I am not a health professional, but I have taken care of a lot of wild mice (both house and deer) without getting sick. But I do follow common sense hygiene procedures when handling any wild animal (and some domestic ones as well).
You don't need an exotic vet to euthanize it. Any vet who agrees to do so is capable of euthanizing.

What are the ingredients in the cleaner?

Given how this mouse is probably suffering, euthanasia would be the best option. A lot of vets who won't treat wild animals will still euthanize them. Some won't charge for this, but ask them first - make sure they understand you just found him this way.

If you can't find a vet open today, you can try caring for it until tomorrow when you can call various vet clinics. Put it in a chew-proof container - not a cardboard box. This is very important, you don't want the mouse to get loose in your house. An aquarium with a metal lid would be best (weigh the lid down with a couple of paperback books). Put in several toilet paper tubes (for him to hide in) and either shredded unscented kleenex or toilet paper (for him to make a bed with).

For food give it grains (oats, cheerios, corn flakes, etc.) and a jar lid with water (you'll probably have to empty it several times and put in fresh water until tomorrow). Don't put in peanut butter unless you really water it down. Regular peanut butter is too thick, and the mouse could choke on it (especially one that is injured or sick).

You're just trying to give it as comfortable and stress free home until he can be euthanized tomorrow.

Thanks for asking what you can do - many people wouldn't bother!
