Instructions
Prepare a hot water bottle filled with water at about body temperature. Test with the thermometer to ensure it is not too hot. Put the bottle in a box, cover it with a towel and put the mole on top.
Phone animal services, a local conservation charity or an animal sanctuary. They will either be able to help or can contact a specialist for you.
Prepare the kitten formula according to instructions in a small bowl.
Warm the mixture in a microwave or pan of hot water.
Fill the syringe with kitten formula.
Test the formula on your wrist to ensure the mixture isn't scalding hot.
If you have an intravenous cannula (a very thin, flexible tube, available from vets), fit it over the end of the syringe to make feeding much easier.
Hold the mole in one hand.
Drip the mixture into the mouth of the baby mole with your other hand.
