So I handed Bijou and her babies over to their true owner this morning.....all but one.
From 9:30 this morning to 7:30 at night, the pinkie dubbed Ninja has been chilling on his own in what I thought was an empty carrier! I was certain I'd counted 15 babies when I handed them over, and it was only when their owner texted me asking about the number of bubs and I found him in the blankets. I'm so distrought. I had to go to my Grandad's 70th birthday party so I left him wrapped up in tissue, blanket in a carrier with a hot water botte underneath it - I left the party early and he managed to squirm his way out of all of that to get underneath the blanket to be closer to the hot water bottle!
Anyway, I've been texting her owner who's been in touch with others. I managed to give him a mixture of honey and complan (a suggestion from someone more experienced), he took a couple of gulps but then lost interest. He's now happily sleeping/squirming on my tummy and I'm sure he's trying to suckle my skin! Anyway, he's not got a full belly but he's very strong. Does anyone have any advice? Little Ninja really wants to live, he's a hardcore lil 5 day old.
I still feel terrible for not counting correctly, but it was in the cold train station and I wanted to be as quick as possible >.< Anyway, he's still strong, and keeping warm on me, and for that I am SO grateful.
I'm getting up very early in the morning to get the train down to meet the owner and reunite him with his mum btw, this is only for tonight.
