hi guys it's echo here with freecom
reality
so i have a situation i have three tiny
baby mice um they're super super teeny
teeny teeny
and i'm gonna set these guys down real
quick i'm up in my daughter's room
because my dog doesn't have access up
here i just got home from work
um and i'm trying to get these guys
ready to go for a first feeding
so to give you guys the story real quick
yesterday i was at work
and i work in this huge warehouse and in
this warehouse
there are um cabinets and there was a
bag in there with some clothes
so my boss and i went out there to go
through these clothes and we opened the
cabinet
everything's fine take the bag out and
then i pick up a shirt and plop
and i look down and there's this little
teeny teeny tiny baby mouse
it's like oh my gosh so we go through
the rest of the bag very very carefully
and we find only two more so as little
as they are and as nervous as i was
because i really don't know what to do
um i
like rodents i had a pet rat once but
nowhere near the small
i called a good friend of mine who's an
animal habitat rehabilitator
she said that you know basically i just
need to
make sure that i can keep them warm try
to keep them safe
so what i did yesterday was i put them
in like a box uh to where mom could
still get in there
made a little bit of bedding and then i
ended up putting
um a tortilla chip and some lettuce and
cheese in there hoping that would get
the mom to come back
and then maybe take care of the babies
so i checked on them this morning
babies were in the same spot none of the
food had been touched
none of like mama's droppings or
anything were around them
so then today before i left for work i
went and checked again i'm like you know
what like these guys aren't looking as
good this this and this
i watched two youtube videos um
basically what my setup here is right
now
and there's my daughter um i have some
pedialyte i have some q-tips uh
some paint brushes um i have two little
areas
and one of the things i read on google
actually is that one
of the best formulas for them is goat's
milk well
oddly enough i know a guy and i have
unpasteurized goat's milk but what the
video said is that i need to use
pedialyte first to get those
electrolytes in them
and then you have to massage their
bellies so that they can you know get
their
uh bowels continue to move and keep them
very very clean
so like i said um if anybody has any
suggestions
any help any anything that you can
uh assist me with please comment on this
video
so that i'll know for later i'm gonna be
feeding them every two
hours um and then tomorrow whenever i go
to work
sarah is gonna be there um she's already
seen him i told her that i was gonna
take him tonight
this is gonna be kind of our thing i
don't know how our shifts are gonna work
especially with it being thursday and
the weekend coming up tomorrow
but uh along with my boss and family and
everybody else
a lot of people think that i'm nuts
right now but it's a living creature
they're just so freaking adorable
they're so helpless
i'm just trying to do anything i can do
for a chance at survival
i've already kind of prepared the kids
of hey
the the chance isn't you know very
likely and this isn't the best setup
that i have for my camera right now
at all but uh sorry for the instability
we're gonna try
so um yeah so
it's not a good chance for them right
now um i'm feeling pretty bad for the
little guys
and i'm just gonna do whatever it is
that i
can do and we're gonna pray for the best
expect the worst
and um yeah that's where we're at so
we're gonna do this feeding
um they're just so tiny i have a heating
pad to be able to keep them warm
ah yeah we're just gonna kind of see how
this goes
they kind of squeak and chirp a little
bit they're very
they don't have their eyes fully open
yet
um but they are moving quite a bit
and so if you guys want to see this
little guy
look at this i mean just so
tiny so helpless so adorable so what the
lady on the video was doing was she was
taking a very fine tip paintbrush
dipping it in the pedialyte and they're
able to kind of suckle on that
and you can kind of hear them suckling
and opening their mouth whenever i hold
them
but you have to be like really really
careful that you don't get it in their
nose because that can kind of drown them
actually because they're just so
tiny and they can't clear that nasal
cavity
so it seems to be working all right for
a second here
trying to get to where you guys can see
i was just in such a rush to get them
home and get something
in them
and it seems to be taking the pedialyte
right now you guys
very very wiggly though let me see if i
can't turn around like this so you guys
can see a little bit better
so we're getting a little bit in there
it's mouth is kind of moving around it's
just so
so so so tiny
and i want to get as much enem as it
will possibly let me right now
and then i'll wipe its mouth off with a
dry cue to it make sure none is on or
around its nose
i'll get its two other little brothers
or sisters
and then like i said with the massaging
of the belly that's just like what i've
learned
so that their um
bowels can move and you have to keep
them very very clean
um there is a couple with a few little
teeny tiny blackish brown spots on it
so anyway that is
what we're up to tonight like i said um
if anybody can give me some advice
um if you think i'm crazy i really don't
need to hear from you right now
i love most uh animals more than i do
most people
no give me a little guys okay um so yeah
so i'm gonna go ahead and hop off now
and focus on this um sarah and i are
gonna do another feeding tomorrow in the
morning and then like i said
while i'm doing my job in my warehouse
buddy get out real quick
sorry child number two uh while i'm
doing my job in my warehouse um sarah's
gonna be babysitting these little guys
throughout the day so she may be going
live too
um yeah so like i said i'm just looking
for help i'm looking for information i'm
looking for comments
and i'm just trying to do whatever it is
that i can do for these little guys
right now
so hey this is echo with recall reality
sorry this is a weird random crazy video
um i'm literally holding like maybe a
week old mouse i don't even know
um but i'll be taking some pictures too
maybe we can insert those
later on just wish us luck and any
advice would be great thanks
bye
