Why couldn't it have been a baby kitten?

[Mama2H]

Noooooo we can't find baby kittens like normal people Sooo I go out to the garage to get the car seat for Bella since she is staying with her Nana tonight. Mackenzie comes to get her tv out of the car and all of a sudden she starts screaming! I stop and try to get out of her what the problem is and she is sobbing "you stepped on it you stepped on it" "what what did I step on" "the baby mouse, you killed it" Awww crud But of coarse there couldn't have just been one baby mouse, there was another one 2 feet in front of me. So now it is time for Mackenzie to learn a nice life lesson.

Dang I hate mice!!! Lucky for that little mouse that I have a soft spot for any baby animal. So now we are feeding a baby MOUSE every 2 hours. Lucky for that mouse, I have a can of soy formula as a back up for one of the day care kids.

Mackenzie took it with her to Nana's house so I didn't get a picture but it's eyes are still closed and it cannot walk yet. It did eat out of the syringe very easily so we will see. I really really hate mice too

Yeah but our baby is a rodent I am actually glad she is staying with Nana tonight. I get the heeby jeebies every time I think of it

Be glad it was a baby mouse, trust me. Kittens make a mess when they are squished in the garage....one of our momma cats decided to move her babies into the garage one time and, long story short, i ran over one with the Jeep! Crap. Now I gotta scrape kitten up off the garage floor. Haley decided we have to have a proper burial . So I bury kitty while Haley runs around the yard picking flowers. CJ is standing there with me while Haley is sobbing and puts the flowers on the kitty grave, looks at me and CJ, still sobbing, and says, "Well, isn't anybody going to say anything?" It was so hard for me and CJ to keep a straight face.

That's the only thing we don't have close to the house. A while back we had a family of raccoons that were pretty cute.

ETA: I wouldn't mind the opossums (sp?) so much if they weren't so darn ugly!

True true! I thought I was done with wild animals after we found the "D alert possum" LOL I guess this is what we get for living in the middle of no where

what is with the animals???

Grace caught a tiny tree frog yesterday at my dad's. My step-mom gave her a jar for it and now it's sitting on the kitchen table with a fly in the jar, which it won't eat.

Anyone know what to feed a tree frog?

Sorry thats too funny! My brother calls Pixie a rodent all the time. Anyway, maybe someone is trying to tell you something.

We've had lots of pet rodents, I love them. Mice are easy, though I'm not sure how mellow a wild one will be, even raised from a baby. Hope you got a girl (boys are kinda smelly)!

Iana, don't ask how I know this but you need fruit flies. Put some banana or apple in the bottom and set it outside, they eventually will come
