I went and bought a live baby rat fuzzie because one of my new baby girls has refused f/t for the 4th time. I was not happy about it, and anyone that knows me will probably be shocked that I'd even attempt a live feeding. I don't feed live for this very reason...

I now have a new pet baby rat lol

I was told if she didn't eat it, to just freeze it. I DO NOT have the heart to do that! I'm sorry it's just not in me. I successfully keep 6 out of 7 of my snakes on f/t rats that I do not have to kill myself, and I just couldn't do it. I went to the reptile store to bring it back, and somehow between walking in and whining that I couldn't kill it, I decided I wanted to keep it lol. They laughed at me of course, but told me I can feed it kitten formula and that's about all I know.

As of right now I have it in a small critter keeper on carefresh bedding, a soft "toy" inside for him to snuggle with since he has no fur yet, and I've attempted a bottle feeding. I think I need a smaller bottle though. Any other help would be nice, I want to keep this guy alive long enough to have him as a pet. I've named him Lucky...because he's a Lucky little ****.
