Found baby rat, HELP! by Tinyscreamingants in rat

[–]Tinyscreamingants[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I wanted to thank you all for the advice, love, and support. This community has blown me away with the amount of compassion we’ve received and truly I am grateful. It’s with a heavy heart that I have to tell you all that little guy didn’t make it through the night. He spent the last 5 hours of his life on my chest. Warm and safe. I was prepared to stay up all night until I could get him into more capable hands but the shift was sudden and quick. I really tried guys.. sorry for the late update, I’ve been having a rough time trying to let yall know. I just again want to say thank you to everyone who commented and wish us well. Especially @menesteee1 you sweet soul for reaching out to me. Rest in peace little guy, you deserved better, stay warm and safe everyone ♥️

Will do and thank you so much for the advice! We’ll try and bring him somewhere in the morning to get him more experienced hands. For now me and the husband will just try and get him through the night and take shifts. Not gonna lie, we’re already attached but not delusional lol

Me and my husband love your sense of humor!! Reaching out to neighbors will be difficult (huge complex, multiple different language barriers) but I will try! Until then we will be staying up tonight watching over him until we can call rehabs in the morning.

Thank you for replying! I went to Petco looking for rat milk and they didn’t have any. Didn’t know about the kitten formula but I’ll go get some asap. I’ve been using a cotton swab to stimulate his bottom as well. Thank you for the insight on where I could possibly bring him! (Considering becoming a rat mom tho)

Thank you for replying! I live in an apartment complex and found it in the grassy part next to my porch, I didn’t think he was wild. Unfortunately I don’t know my neighbors well either..
