OK, I just got a call from Nicole - she found two baby field mice, teeny tiny, but appear to have their eyes open. I have never taken care of mice. The plan is to raise them and then release them.
What do I need to do?
- make sure they pee and poop
- heat source that they can get away from
- food --> they checked on-line and apparently they should be fed kitten formula? When they can eat I am planning on trying them with baby cereal and then rat blocks.
Is their maturity in line with rats? At what age would they be good to release?
She will be bringing them by tomorrow supper time if they make it overnight.
