Like I said, they're all kept away from their mothers. They're small rats, not fuzzies or pinkies. Open eyes and fully furred. Glad to know it must have been something wrong with the rat, though. I have a proper rat cage/water bottle/everything, so I also thought it was weird. I'd hate to have to stop getting my rats where I do because it's the only store in town that sells live rats for feeding. :/
