If it's truly a baby, it's not eating solid foods yet and needs its mother's milk. Without it, the baby rat will certainly suffer a cold and hungry short life... If the rat was at least weaned, you could go to a pet store to pick up some rodent food. You should be giving dog food at the very least. Rats need protein in their diet. They're not herbivores...
