Try feeding it 10-20% honey water daily and put it in a screened box or cage of some 
kind outdoors. It might live for a month or more if the cage is kept outdoors in a filtered 
sunlight kind of situation. Indoors it likely wouldn't live as long. If it is badly injured it 
might not be able to feed and there will be nothing you can do. In that case it may die 
within a day or two of dehydration. It's corpse could help feed other creatures.
