just caught a tiny field mouse with a very bad limp slowly making its way

Raptors have to eat too! They are obligate carnivores.

whats the kindest thing to do with it? a while ago i rang rspca about a
fox
in a cemetary with a very bad leg, and they just said it would have to
take
its chances.

i dont mind feeding the mouse, but keeping it in a carboard box... is
that
the kindest option?

Be aware that if it escapes from your makeshift cage it will repay you by
gnawing through the insulation on your electric cables.
