About Julia Ciferno Expertise 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> Education/Credentials Did you know that rats are on the top 10 most intelligent animals? Thay also are practicly as smart as dogs! (and they act like them too!) =)

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.
