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.
