Question
my brother found a couple of rodents and i don't know what to do. they wont eat with an eyedropper so i tried a bottle that didn't work too well either. i know how to make them go to the bathroom, they do that very well but they need to eat, they are very small, about the size of a thumb even smaller, and they have brownish grey hair, a very large head,a tail about a little more than 1/4 of their body length and their eyes are closed, but i can tell that their black.  i guess my question is what are they and how do i get them to eat?!!!

Answer
Hello Hannah,
you more than likely have either mice or rats. I wouldn't be able to know without seeing some pictures. What are you using as formula? I do know KMR or kitten milk replacement can be tastier. You can try to make the formula more appealing by adding juice to the formula as well. I hope this helps and I hope your babies grow and thrive.
