Wild Mice

All creatures great and small.

These two wild mice arrived yesterday cold and dehydrated, once they had been warmed up on a heat pad, we started feeding.

Over 24 hours on and still very early days, thier eyes have started to open, they are taking hourly feeds and they are quite lively.

Feeding rearing milk formula to such tiny animals is a challenge, its vital that they don’t get any on thier nose and into their respirable tract and important not the let them get wet.

They are nibbling on solids too so fingers crossed.
