I am feeling a bit better today but - still not 100%
Found baby abandoned mice in the chicken feed store this morning! They were only born and sadly all blue and cold but the smallest wee things as small as your thumb nail. I lifted them and when they warmed two of them started to cry. I put them back in the feed store tub under some hay with a heat pad under them just incase their Mom changes her mind and comes back - I don;t think she will but hay where there is life there is hope I guess. Really sad but wondreful to get the rare oportunity to hold and look at such tiny creatures we don't often get a chance to see up close. I know they have my scent on them now which is sad cause I thought they were all dead. - But I have been lifting their mum out of the feed store tub every morning so she is kind of used to my smell. I have no idea why she decided to leave me her 5 babies??? Anyhow she didn;t make them warm so I guess its her first litter and she got freaked.
Better go anyhow i will know by tomorrow if she has come back
