Advice on 'fostering' baby mouse.

[Answerprancer]

We had some major gardening works carried out yesterday and I discovered a small 'refugee'. A baby mouse - at a guess - 14 days old: had fur / one eye barely open, the other closed, assumed if left would probably be eaten by a crow or a cat or whatever.
I put it in a carboard box and threw in a few bits of wholemeal bread and heart cabbage - which it heartily ate.
I brought it in for the night and was expecting a tiny stiff corpse by morning but 24 hrs later *he*s (I checked his gender online) still very much alive and has both eyes open! Having done some further research, I've been feeding him goat's milk and granary bread. Although his back legs seem a little weaker than yesterday (he was holding food in his front paws - but now isn't) he is eating/licking ok.
If I put my hand in front of him, he climbs up onto it - I assumed this was to do with warmth.
Advice? (please no 'snake-food' quips)

The only advice I can offer is to put it back and let nature take its course. You are a very kind person, and I know anything with fur and shiny eyes pulls on our heart-strings. But mate, it's vermin. In your shoebox you have the sire of thousands more mice. I'm not advocating doing anythig cruel - and keeping a wild animal as a pet can be ranked as 'cruel'. Pls wash hands after handling as they have no bladder and leak urine constantly.

Is the wee mouse still alive? I must admit to being totally soft where animals are concerned and would have 'adopted' him too.

Yes wolf - he's fine.

That's a pity - I am crazy cat lady wolf's big mean tom cat. The only mice around here have cat-nip in them.
