Help me for having a heart? >>>>>>
Well Dec 24th I got more food for my snakes. I always tell the guy "no cute ones". Well when I got home I saw that I had two cute ones. A black and white and a brown and white one. Both in their fuzzy / just about to open their eyes stage. I felt bad but I still tossed both in the snakes feeding tubs and walked away. I felt even more guilty and ended up taking my dog for a walk in hopes to get my mind off of those two cute ones. Half way in to it, it really started to bother me so I turned around and ran as fast as my legs could carry me back on home. Flew into the house, flew in to my room, pulled open both tubs to see that I was to late for the black and white one, but the brown and white one was hiding and still alive. I grabbed her out of there!
So now since the 24th, I've been feeding this little one regular people milk out of a little syringe. She has opened her eyes and has gotten a lot more "frisky" and wanting to explore. She is in a small container with paper towels and is sitting on a small heating pad set to the lowest setting. I didn't think she was going to make it this far, but now I'm growing attached and really want her to make it and keep her as a pet!
So please please please if anyone knows how to care for baby baby rats please let me know!
How much should I be feeding her?
Also is people milk enough?
Should I be giving her baby/kitten/puppy...some kind of other formula?
I've kept rats as pets before but just never bred them or raised a baby baby one!
Here are a few pictures - sorry they are out of focus. She is a little squirmy thing and as you can see.... she likes to wear her food.

I fed cat formula milk to our rat babies when I handraised them from 5 days of age, and recommend not to. Especially at 7days of age, but your looks A LOT healthier and bigger than the ones I handraised (only having one out of th e5 survive and now she is a happy mom of 13) We also gave her baby formula and baby cereal to help her with her poop and gain weight which she started to and start to thrive. Cows milk isnt that great and would recommend baby cereal and formula.

I'm no expert but I would go with either goat milk or KMR(Kitten Milk Replacer) diluted a bit. Cow milk isn't good food for rats

This article recommend the puppy milk replacer powder, and make sure the little one is going to the bathroom. If they are still too small then you may have to stimulate them. Here's an article that should help...
