Mouse? Rat? Mole? Erica is hoping for squirrel

MEET TEDDY




This here I think is a baby field mouse. One of the cats drug it in, Nicholas intervene before it was to late and Erica has been keeping it alive, using a syringe of milk and grape skins. Erica had to go to school today, so once again Grandma (me) had to help out... I made it a little home in a bug cage, put a little warming pack under a cloth and a soaked a Q-tip of milk... so far so good... I read on the Internet that the mouse would more likely die... it's going on 1 night and 2 days without mama mouse... do you think it will survive? You might be asking then what? I don't know, we haven't gotten that far! suppose put it in front of cheese and trap...

Heidi,
You are a good momma... I just caught two mice in a squish em trap. No way would I be doing what it takes to keep that "cute as you may think it is" baby mouse alive.

Your nicer than me forsure :)

That's a mouse, no doubt about it. Maybe when the kids are out of the house, you could say the Wonder Pets came and saved the baby mouse and brought him back to his mother.

Maybe your kids are too old for the Wonder Pets?
