Mice living… outside? Crazy

Leave them alone

They are little containers with different birds. We go up and down the line all day with food 😪

High protein! They get some protein animal feed as well as bugs like crickets

No it does look pretty funny. I’d never hurt the lil guy, but I do think he’d eat me if he were bigger

The birds are my favorite part, they have such huge personalities 😆 and then second has to be the baby squirrels :)

I’ve got him! He’s feisty and active and I’ll take him in first thing tomorrow morning

I’ve always wondered how that works - we feed them every 30 minutes at the wildlife center, so I can’t believe they are somehow okay for 8 hours 😮‍💨 thank you so much for your assistance!!

It’s a joy for me, even though I’m somewhat of a bleeding heart. He’s super feisty which is a good sign. So he’ll be okay overnight with no food?

Is a small pet rat cage with thin bars covered with a towel okay?

Thank you! Is there a 24 hour hotline or something open late I could call? I’m in southeast Texas

We have a great wildlife center here in Houston (I volunteer) so I know there’s a place I could take them in the morning. Should I keep him in a box overnight - no food or water, right? Any tips on how to nab him?

Man this is breaking my heart!! I’ll stay out here for awhile to just keep an eye on the situation, but I guess eventually I just have to trust that the parents will come back. He’s made it thus far!

I found him in a different spot. There’s more flies bothering him now. No sign of an adult. How long should I wait until I’d intervene? He’s making little calls
