 Tiny Mouse

I breed mice for food to my snakes. I have this one cage where two females had litters within half a week of each other so I don’t know for sure who had this little mouse. The mouse is about three weeks or just over three weeks and is the size of my pinkie finger from tip the the first knuckle, about the size of a half week old pinkie mouse. It has its fur and eyes are open but this happened about a week after the youngest litter got their fur and opened their eyes. (Developmentally slow). I know there is a name for this kind of mouse but can’t think of it right now. I know that they don’t normally survive and usually stay in bad health so Feeding it to one of my snakes is really moot. All of my snakes take adults and most take two. (Rat snakes eat a lot, even when they are smaller). I was just going to keep him/her with momma while he/she lived. (I haven’t sexed it yet. Usually do that at weening.)
