Some vets don't charge to treat wildlife. |
There is no rattling sound or runny nose that was the first thing i got really paranoid about.

They are eating mashed up cat food, kitten biscits, meelworms, wax worms and i'm going worm hunting tomorrow in my parents garden. They are kept in my living room in a rabbit/ginnipig cage on wheels. with a box turned upside down and a hole cut in the side (thats where they sleep) I turned the heat mat off yesterday as they tried to bite it and they would have gotten a shock if i didnt catch em.
