My friend's rat has a litter of pups. She originally had 10 (this would be her first litter) and she has killed 3. They are almost 2 weeks old (2 weeks old as of Sunday). The mother rat has become very aggressive. My friend is trying to leave her alone except for feeding and changing her water but she is worried she is going to continue to kill and eat the babies. I'm going to get a weight on the babies when I go to visit on Sunday (if I can get there in all this snow. Grin). We are wondering if it is possible to hand raise the pups from this point on. How often should they be fed. What milk replacement should be used? What temperature should they be kept at (if on a heating pad)? What other things should we do in order to help them survive. We could keep them with the mother but my friend would like to hand raise them if possible.R
