A little friend



We found this little guy in the garden.
At first it didn't look hopeful, but after a bit of warmth, some drops of milk and a couple of grains of sugar he was ready to take on the world again.

You found him and picked him up and fed him??? See, I would probably find him, scream and run in the opposite direction!

How adorable! ... In YOUR palm that is. I'm with Terri. I'd be a little freaked out to pick him up, or even touch him, but I'm glad you did! Hopefully he's stored up enough energy to be able to survive outside! Otherwise, a hamster cage may be in store for you....

Terri and ShadowRun300 - He is only a tiny baby field mouse! Hm, maybe I never said that Mrs RC and I used to have a pet RAT?

Oh yeah - this guy is much cuter than a rat. I liked Templeton in Charlotte's Web. Beyond that I would rather never see a rat. *shiver*

Definitely cuter than a rat, but they are distant relations. Another addition to the RC menagerie? He looks cute, but what did Frou Frou and Custard think of him?

Rock Chef said...

ShadowRun300 - Domestic rats are great - clean and intelligent, they make great pets.

Agg79 - He is back in the garden now. Custard just got over excited and bounced around like an idiot. Frou Frou just wanted to kill him.
