3. good on them for saving them.

Poor guys got trapped when debris sealed the hole they climbed in through. They chewed the hole they were peeking out of.

They say they're old enough to survive on their own. They fed them watermelon to help them rehydrate.

If it happened in Central Florida they would have killed them.
