A baby mouse can start eating a small amount of solid foods once they open their eyes at about 2.5 weeks of age. They will enjoy soft cooked vegetables such as peas and carrots as well as kitten food mixed with a small amount of water or moistened hamster food. If the mouse is being fed by its mother, it can switch completely to solid foods at about four weeks of age. If you are caring for an abandoned mouse, it should be ready to switch to all solid foods at five or six weeks.
