Topic: Keeping a pet slow worm
Hi All, Needing help as my daughter has rescued an injured slow worm from the garden yeaterday. It looks like it may have been injured by a strimmer or possibly a cat and has a nasty, deep but clean cut from 'ear to ear'. I'm concerned it may not be able to eat, at least for a while. At the moment it is in a smallish plastic animal carrier - about 25cm x 15cm x 20 high with some grass and dandelion leaves at one end. Question is what to do - how long can it survive without eating? Should we put some grass clippings / bark chips in? Any help gratefully received. Mandy |
