Ok, well this is probably going to sound crazy, but am fostering some baby rats. Yesterday I picked up some feeders, deciding that it was time to switch 2 of our smaller snakes from adult mice to rats. I brought home 2 fuzzies, only to find that my fiance had already fed both snakes. I didn't want to waste the food, so I had the idea that I could raise them up until they got a little bigger, or wait a few days to feed them off. Upon doing some research and comparing pictures I realized that they babies haven't been weaned yet and obv wouldn't survive on regular rat food, so here's what I did. I picked up some Kitten Milk Replacent... and a young (4- months old) female rat from the pet store. She took to them surprisingly well... at first she ignored the babies, but then brought one into her hide and started cleaning in, and eventually the other one as well. So I have been feeding them the milk, while she does the rest of the work.
So far, they all seem ok, but. . . how long will the peace last? Is there a chance she'll change her mind about taking care of them?
