What a softie!
Well, I guess I can't really say anything. In my last order of feeders I had a left over crawler I decided to hold on to and eventually move to my breeding program (She's obviously black (a recessive trait) and I plan on pairing her up with my BEW (a co-dom trait)).
She was about the same size as your crawler when I got her a couple weeks ago, now she's moving around pretty good on her own:
I was lucky and this girl was able to start nibbling on a piece of lab block almost immediately. If you haven't already I suggest placing some kind of food with him to see if he'll try to eat it.
Good luck with your new little guy!
If you get another extra rat in future I recommend considering adding them in with your new rat as I've heard rats do much better with a companion (since they are such social creatures, always grooming, playing and sleeping next to each other).
What do I feed it?? I have bottle fed it kitten formula...and what is lab block? I don't know where to find these things can you help me? lol I want this little guy to live
