id love one but PA has stupid laws about furry animals. anyone know if they legal? i doubt it
 
Well here is a crazy one for ya, my wife and kids went to a friends house and the people have a tiny tiny gopher in their back yard on a frisbie that their mini pin had brought to the house as a toy.

So my wife an kids brought it to me since I am like doctor doolittle with animals.

They tell me that it has been in the back yard for about 5 days. I would think it to be extremely dehydrated or possible internal damage. It is not very responsive and very shallow breathing. Also its body temperature was very very cold, I have been holding it to warm it up and getting some responses like eye fluttering and tail twitching. I hope this little guy/girl makes it. I spent about an hour watching the youtube vids and thought what a cool little animal.

I would think that it will most probably take some serious care to get back to health but will see over the next week. I have some exact food which we are using to nurse a abandoned baby my kids found in a destroyed nest on the ground.

At any rate here are the pictures of gainer so called by my kids

well chalk one up to people that do not understand that leaving an animal outside on a frisbie for a week after their dog thinks it is a toy is a really bad idea !!!!!!

I was pretty sure with it's body temperature that this thing was gonna die and it just did.

I basically put a drop at a time in it's mouth in an attempt to get some moisture into it.

I hate when I get an wounded or hurt animal and they do not make it.
