Then the temp dropped and caused them all to get lazy and end up sitting right out in the open trying to stay warm on the blacktop. This lead to a bird easily getting him.

The bucket I will be using will be a good sized bucket. I am only going to use it tonight to get him out of the cold. My daughter wants to get a fish, but doesn't have the money yet. I think I will get him an aquarium, and if he doesn't make it she can take it over for the fish she will eventually get. Ah, yes, I have plans. I am really hoping to end up with a new little buddy here, though.
If anything else he will be warm/loved/and comfortable if he doesn't make it. He has more chance with you than left out on his own. Keep us updated.
