my baby rat about 2 inches how old is it?? and other care tips?
i was at my friends farm up in the hay lofts we were dumping hay bales out this door and my friend saw this rat and said ooo its a baby mouse but it turned out ot be a rat cuz i have had 5 and now 6 rats and so we didnt find any other baby rats by it so i kept it i have a lamp over it to keep it warm some bedding from my other rat Rufus and some pieces of flece clothe. we looked up on the internet to feed it kitten formula so my mom and i r going to get him some tomorrow but he is twitching and i dont no if that is good sign or a bad one or if hes cold or if it has the hichups. what other tips should i do for it how should i care for it and how old is it??
If it is furred and 2 inches long its probably around 4 weeks old. Shouldnt need the mum at this stage.
Sorry to say this but ‘twitching’ probably isnt the best sign. Depends on how it is twitching, but if the whole body is moving it is a good sign that your rattie is going into shock and will probably die.
Keep it warm, but it somewhere where it cant escape, offer it access to warm water, and see how it goes.
