First Patient-- a Vole

Oddly enough, our first official patient here at Nutkin's Nursery is not a squirrel, but a baby vole (short-tailed field mouse). It is a female, approximately 10 days old. She was taken from a nest by a house cat, whose owner kindly brought the unharmed baby to me. She is taking Esbilac formula well, and I expect her to wean onto solid food within a week.
