Five cute baby mice have been rescued by RSPCA Oak and Furrows after their mum was caught in a trap.

The tiny mice are so young that the team are completing the weaning process with them - but they have opened their eyes!

A RSPCA spokesman said: "The future was not looking great for these little ones.

"Time and patience is required.

"We will always do our very best to care for all animals in need.

"Mice perform an important part job in our environment.

"They are some of nature’s cleaner-uppers, and also feed a lot of other animals.

"Every animal deserves a chance.

"Our aim is to provide care for wild animals in need so that they can be returned to the wild fit and healthy for a second chance at life."

The centre cares for all creatures great and small, from deer and otters to hedgehogs and bats.

Annually, they support around 4,000 wildlife casualties and handle 7,000 enquiries for help and advice.

Any donations of food and bedding should be taken to one of the RSPCA shops and not the centre.
