Abstract

Newborn mice can be cross-fostered to a lactating female if the birth mother is not taking care of them properly. The pups are removed from the birth mother, warmed, and placed in a clean cage with a recently postpartum, lactating female. Hints on improving the chances of successful fostering are provided.
