4 Blind Mice

During my time here I've come to realise that we really do care for pretty much all forms of wildlife, from the great to the small. Most recently our tiniest additions were a group of woodmice. When they arrived they were in a poor state, very cold and skinny, with their eyes still closed. 

To begin with the mice were syringe fed a milk and farleys mixture via cannulas as their mouths were so small. Luckily for staff they took to it well and after just four days were feeding for themselves, lapping farleys and milk from a bowl. This is very beneficial to the animals as it means staff can handle them much less often and they have a less stressful time in care before release.

It's just a matter of time now before we are able to release them back to the wild, definitely the best part of the rehabilitation process
