So tired...

So, we've had this huge dirt pile that has been sitting outside for a while now. And, last weekend, my dad finally started using it for something. Halfway into what he is doing he came up to me and handed me a bucket. He said either "take care of it," or "do something with them." I looked down in the bucket and saw a bunch of blind baby mice. I, of course, had no idea what to do with them. Their nest was destroyed, and it didn't seem likely that momma mouse was going to find them. Also, my six year old cousin was there, and she was already naming them. So, my mom and I decided to try and keep them alive. Every 2 hours or so we would feed them kitten formula (which is part of the reason I am so tired.) Unfortunately, only one little mouse is still alive. We think that it may have gotten too cold for the others (even though we had a heating pad on low half the time.) We are now keeping the heating pad on medium, and it is on all day. Luckily, this mouse seems to be ok at the moment, and is full of energy. We've been called crazy by just about everyone that we know, lol. But, we were the ones who destroyed their nest, so I felt like we should at least try to keep them alive. He's a cute little mouse though, lol.
