He works at Agway and while loading a bale of hay into a customers car, he uncovered a mouse nest and brought it home.
http://home.comcast.net/~castle.walls/mice1.jpg

They are about 2" in length total w/tail, eyes are still closed. He seems to think he can raise them as food for his Ball python.

Is this possible? How to feed them? Milk and a syringe?
He also bought a live white mouse that the store (Petco) said was pregnant in hopes it would somehow adopt these babies, the same white mouse that he normally feeds to the Ball.

Advice?
And yes, I'm pretty sure his mom is gonna be a bit upset when she gets home from work tonight...;>
