What to do...

Do not release a pet in the wild be responsible and do the right thing, this should not even be an option.

Feed it off, find a home for it or keep it as a pet... those are your acceptable solutions.

I'm sorry, but releasing into your barn is cruel. Find a good home for the pet rat , who believes by now that humans are his family. The rat deserves a loving, forever home. I'd take it if you lived near me in a heartbeat.

I'm glad you found a home for it. It's a shame how some people consider pets to be as disposable as an object once they get tired of them or they're not convenient anymore, and then they have no issue getting rid of them in awful ways.

Find a rescue in your area and give her to them. You know they will be well cared for and safe. I have 3 pet rats and I would never hurt them because they make me happy:) if you give it to a rescue someone can come take her and she will be happy and she will make her owner happy too! Even if there's not rescue in your area then ask around your neighborhood find someone who she will make happy[emoji4]

I wouldn't feed the rat to the snake… I would keep the rat as a pet or find a home.
