Husbandry emergency, dying animal :-/
The construction worker at my dads new place ripped down a birds nest, and left all the babies on the ground in the grass last night. This morning my sister told me so I got up and drove to my dads, 2 were dead and I grabbed the third one. Hes in a polystyrene container with low heat and my t-shirt as a nest and I gave him some very small mealworms. Didn't have time to research as the poor thing was on the brink anyways, had been out for almost 15 hours in the cold grass. figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
Anyone think I can save him? What do I need to do? He still hasn't opened his eyes or have any feathers, but he took a bunch of tiny mealworms, and I also crushed a few up and gave him the 'juices' with a eye dropper.
Help would be appreciated.
