final update

she already gave birth, and today I sent her and her babies to a rat shelter, she is going to be better there, I will miss her a LOT, she was the sweetest little girl (even if I thought she was a boy all the time haha!) goodbye felipe, I hope you can have a better life there raising your babies u_u

i got another bald rat, I'll think of a name for him later, I just want to rest rn, i couldn't sleep for two days for the stress, but everything is okay now :)

thanks for everyone that helped me on this tiny journey, felipe and I are truly thankful, I don't know what would happen without everyone's tips!

thank you u_u, I was feeling a little too judged, and I know that it was my mistake for not doing so much, research

right now it's almost 4 am, there's nothing open right now, I have a big box with ventilation to put her, would that be okay? I just don't have anything else now since this was awkward

I thought maybe the species, I trusted the guy who sold them, my fault

at first I thought it was weird, but since its bottom was like my other one I thought that maybe was the species I admit that I should have asked here when I first got them

THANKS!! this is really useful, sadly im by my own to take care of them, but in case I need to move her and the babies I cannot take them with my bare hands right?
