About 3 days ago I was cleaning my rat's cage, so I moved the rats into an aquarium with a blanket in it for the meantime, 18 babies and mother in one, 3 other females in another.

Fast forward to today, I was going to clean the cage again so I go to take out the blanket from the aquarium and spread it on the floor of it, and a baby rat falls out...

By some miracle it was still alive and squeaking, I gave it back to the mother to see what happens.

I know exactly which one it was too, because it was the first one I put in the aquarium with her, she moved it to one spot, then when I put the rest of them in she moved them to another and I guess forgot about it.

I can't believe I did this.
