    if your just trying to keep it alive for a couple days you can just throw in some carrots raw potatoes etc maybe some bread rats will eat anything really.

    Rats are nature's garbage disposals. They will eat anything.

    Raw potatos are too hard to digest. It will give the poor thing a belly ache if it eats them at all. Give it left over table scraps or if you have a dog or cat give it dog or cat food. They will eat anything you or any other mammal pet you may have.
