New furry addition! (now with pics)

First topic message reminder :

Mick, the orphaned field mouse. He was abandoned and was wriggling around in one of the packed boxes in the garage - dad found him. Very, very young! He's probably just under two weeks old, with a full body of fur, but his eyes and ears are still shut.

Bought him some formula, as well as little stuffed mice to replicate siblings. He's currently in a large plastic tub, filled with shredded paper, with some formula-soaked cotton balls. He's still in the garage, just in case his mother is still around somewhere. Here's to hoping!

No pictures, I'm afraid, as I don't want to frighten the poor little thing. Not sure that he's going to make it, as he isn't even weaned yet, but we can at least make him comfortable. Hopefully he'll feed soon, as he wouldn't take the formula earlier today.

He's doing really well

When we first took him in, we all said, "He'll have to stay outside! Can't have him in the house."

Guess where he is now.

So glad to hear that!

Believe it or not, that was Predictive Text!

And there was me thinking you'd learned to speak Klingon!

I thought it was txt shorthand for " so all is good, so far" (or that a few wines may have been enjoyed & her fingers had their own thoughts.)
 

Now why did I know he wouldnt be in the garage very long! It's too cold for him without mum. I'm betting he's in your room.

Yes, he's in my bedroom. He would have stayed in the garage, but the nights were getting really cold.

Awww he is so cute
it sounds like he is doing really well, got fingers crossed for him

R.I.P. Mick.

Oh no!

At least he isn't suffering.
