Surrogate parent?

[jesse_3]

So basically your talking about fostering? Sorry, I guess I'm slow

Well, kind of. You raise it, you are its parent, whatever 'it' is. If you found a baby chipmunk that was too young to take care of itself, and the mother was no where to be found, so you raise it, or like Argranade is raising baby birds.

Sorry for all of the confusion!!

yes and no. Spud the guinea pig was born to a litter of 6, he was the runt and hardly got any milk, so I would come home from school at every break I could to bottle feed him. Spud only lived to be about 2 years old though

Yes. When I was about eleven or twelve, my aunt and two cousins were living with my dad, brother, and myself, we had a Rottie girl named Chyna. Well, they found out Chyna was pregnant about halfways through her actual pregnancy. She had a litter of twelve but only ten survived and then she sat on a couple so I would say only seven or eight survived out of that. They brought them inside and I slept on the floor right next to them and got up every 2 hours to feed them. They just gradually died off. A few died right in my hands.

I miss them.
