I can answer questions on hamsters and rats. I have had years of experience with hamsters, not a real expert on rats yet though.I can answer most questions on health, feeding,and housing. But if I cannot answer one of your questions, I will find the answer for you.

Experience
In the past I have had 11 hamsters at once, I love them very much. And I am not quite an expert on rats yet..BR>

Subject: Wild Baby Rat?

Question
Hello, I just rescued a small baby rat (I think it is a rat because it is larger than a baby mouse, has sparse dark gray hair and it has not opened its eyes yet.)  I am currently feeding it room-temperature skim milk, which is all I had in the house.  It doesn't appear to be hurt externally.  Please advise what needs to be fed to it and how to care for it.  

Thank you,  

Kelly

Answer
Awww, here is a site on caring for orphaned rat pups like this one:

I would just tell you, but this site says it all (I think) lol.
Hope this helps,=)

Julia

P.S. Let me know how he/she is doing in a couple days if you'd like =) (my email is sugargliders4u@aol.com)
