Fashionably Great

Sorry guys, unfun subject matter here:

I realize there have been threads over wild mice in the past, but I just rescued one from my cats. I'd go drop it off in some field somewhere so it'd be out of my house, except for one problem.

The mouse, I'm calling Stumpy, only has his hind legs due to the jerkasses who found him. I thought he had three, but apparently I miscounted because he seems to walk on one stump okay. I don't want to kill the little guy if it's not necessary. However, I know the likelihood of a wild mice surviving in captivity is low already, and a double amputee is even less so. Is it better to just let him go outside where he'll probably die, keep him inside in an old mouse setup I have where he'll probably die, or just take him out of his misery now? :( He's moving around okay right now and doesn't seem to be bleeding.

Here's a picture of the little guy, it doesn't show his legs (or lack of) but he's cute for an intruder:


edit: nevermind. He just keeled over on me before I could do anything else. RIP Stumpy 2009-2010
