We found a baby rodent in the backroom (it used to be a shed, but it's now converted into a room)
One of them still has it's eyes closed, the other doesn't, so its no more then couple weeks old at most. It's teeny tiny, probably an inch to three inches (maybe about the size of two quarters put together?), not including its tail. It has very tiny dark brownish (a little grayish) hair, and whiskers above its eyes and around it's nose. It has little white fur on it's tummy, and I cant really tell if there is fur on the tail.
Someone told me that it looks like a baby squirrel, but someone else said it looked like a baby mouse. The problem is though, is that we have an airconditioning unit in the backroom, and its high enough to be a window unit (which im pretty sure it is, but it's sealed in) and there looks like there was a nest on top of it. So we're assuming the baby rodents fell out when our aircondtioning unit back here was getting fixed, and there mother was no where to be found. This happened back awhile ago as well, during the winter season, I think.
So I don't think it could be a mouse because the nest was pretty high up, but rats can get the high, and so can squirrels, of course.
I was wondering if you could possibly help me out on what it might be?
Thanks
(also: haha,, I knew it would die, so (because we found two of them) we set up a cozy cardoard box complete with shredded paper and a warm, snugly blanky so they can lay in, and we're keeping it outside because they need the heat (at least 80) and we got some kitty formula and diluted a bit. (dont worry, i read all about rodents. lol, they're fine for right now. we're getting a nice cage soon, once they start teething) )
