New residents.
A mouse mother made her nest under some branches that had been prepared for burning. When Maciek realized there were two tiny babies under the wood, he put the branches back in place.
Their mum wasn’t there, and she didn’t return to her babies. We waited for several hours. The little mice started getting cold, so we had to step in.
And here they are: Pirat and Ciapka. Their names may be temporary, as we don’t know their sex yet.
At 2 a.m., we drove to the emergency vet clinic to get kitten milk, to give these tiny creatures any chance of survival.
We don’t know how this story will continue. Hand-rearing babies this small is very difficult. Waking up every few hours through the night is difficult too.
Please keep your fingers crossed for them.
