    Re: live-feed attempt, bp wasnt hungry. what now?

    Sorry your BP wouldn't go for it.

    A fuzzy rat is not weaned, so unless you have a lactating female rat to nurse it, if you try to keep as a pet it will starve to death not able to eat any rodent food you offer.

    Your main options are you can return it to the store if that is allowed by their policies asap (get store credit for next week, perhaps), or you will need to humanely kill and freeze it to offer in the future as a f/t meal.


    The smallest size rat you could keep as a pet for a week is 2 sizes larger, a weaned rat. Before then they typically can't exclusively eat rodent food. (I say typically in case a pup was left with mom close enough to weaning time that it may be okay, but that isn't common for feeders from stores)
