Last night my friend :iconzahraandthepea: found a baby rat her cat had dragged into the house and we are trying to save it.
I went on a bunch of websites and walked her through making sure he stayed warm, and what kinda rat formula you can make at home. So anyways she is super busy today so I picked him up just a few hours ago, and I have him in a shoebox with towels and a heating pad underneath the box. He's a tiny little fellow probably just a week or so old andwe named him after our math teacher mr. alu
isnt' he beautiful?

I know he probably has a small chance of survival but we are going to do our best. 
I asked 2 local shelters if they could take him but they both don't really deal with rats so until I can find another shelter he is going to be staying in my room it seems. I bought some KMR formula for kittens and fed him some through an eyedropper, it was the cutest thing in the world. 
I know I shouldn't get attached but he's adorable

If you have any tips, experience or questions please let me know!

BLESS YOU. So many people wouldn't care to save an 'icky' rat... But rats are so friendly and adorable. I hope he survives. <3
