A bit of mothering..
 

Sat earlier in the back garden enjoying a beer when I noticed a small movement on the lawn. Under closer inspection it was a very small rodent, a vole. The poor mite was less than two inches long.

Anyway, I called the wife who decided the vole could do with a bit of nourishment and gave it some oats and a drop of milk.

Placed in a box with some food and placed in the garage, we decided to give it a few days before release. The best chance we could give it.

Hi Pab,

Well done rescuing the Vole, just a word of warning.
Cows Milk is very bad for Hedgehogs and I would guess maybe the same for Voles as well.
May be worth searching google or such like;)

I'll mention the fact to her Jeff.

That was very kind hearted of you both to do that for the wee vole.

Hope it gets on ok.

Well the poor mite died at some point today. Checked it on my return from work.

Sad to hear it didn't make it Paul,well done to you and the wife for trying to help it.
