    I don't see any rehabber members here in that area, so I cross-posted this on Facebook. Poor babies -- will keep trying to get them some help. Does the finder need advice, in the meantime, for keeping them warm and hydrated?

    I have actually sent him some information from here on how to care for them in the meantime. Last I heard from him he was trying to get a hold of his vet to see if he can help as well.

    Still working on it, ellymay -- can you PM me with his exact town and county, maybe, so I can do a better job of finding someone nearby? Thanks!

    Just spoke to finder, he found someone last night who had experience and they took them last night. So babies are safe. That being said, I did find another person who is willing to help and although she has not done it, wants to learn and help others.
