How do you keep a baby mole alive?
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.
What do you do with a newborn mole?
Baby moles stay in their nest for about one month before they leave to forage in tunnels. It would be unusual to find a very young mole out of its underground nest unless the nest has been disturbed. If the mother mole does not reclaim her young within a short period of time, call a permitted wildlife rehabilitator.
What do baby ground moles eat?
If it is weaned, it needs live worms and small bugs, which it only knows how to catch and eat underground, so it's gonna die.
Do moles need water?
Give your mole water. A water dish is the best way to begin, but moles may adjust to gravity-dispensing water supplies intended for pet hamsters or rats. Research your mole's species to find out what its diet consists of. Many moles survive off of worms, some prefer other insects.
