Shrew babies in Wichita, KS

[Spanky]

My son called from his work site where he found 3 baby shrews in a nest inside of a bag of powdered iron. Any suggestions about reuniting with mom if she is around or Wichita rehabbed that might help?

Checked wild mammal babies for you.. Said reuniting is seldom an option .

I had really hoped there would be more responses to this by now. :/

We were actually on the way to Wichita to visit him when he called me. We just landed. He wants me to take the little guys overnight since he is working long hours.

They are tiny but eyes open. I found a place to take them to tomorrow in Junction City (where I am heading for the day already)... I spoke to a lady that provided some info but she did not know much about shrews since they do not get them much (others at the center know them better but unavailable until morning). She suggested puppy formula, wet dog food, earthworms and mealworms?

I will see what I can find tonight for the overnight. I know they are high metabolism and likely could use some food. All suggestions welcomed.

There are two and I think they are mice.. this was a pic my son sent me. The third he could not find after mom bolted. I will try to post better pics in the morning.

It looks like a mouse to me

Found a place that will take the mice. They apparently have a mouse colony?
