Busy with Fizzy episode 20 (Lucky mice)
Channel: consumedbynature
Date: 2016-07-24

In November 2014 we slipped our boat trailer into the cold River Avon to recover Fizzy for the winter. Unbeknown to us three little stowaways had made the trailer their home. These three little mice had the shock of their lives as they were suddenly submerged into the cold water and began to swim for their lives. We picked up the boathook and pointed it to each mouse. Each little rodent gladly accepted our invitation and climbed it to safety. As two of the little critters recovered from their ordeal it gave us a chance to film them up close and personal. 
The one mouse in particular was struggling with the ordeal. The Mrs picked it up and placed it with some warm material as temporary bedding to keep it warm. None of the mice came to any significant harm and all ended well.

Unfortunately we didn't film the rescue as we were busy!

Thanks for watching
