Rats can be amazing pets.
They're incredibly smart animals and bond well with people. Like dogs, but without the dumb stuff lol.
Yeah, I've heard that pet rats are basically small dogs. Just as smart, affectionate, playful, and trainable.Rats can be amazing pets.

You should get a camera and stream it 24/7 of it growing up. I am sure you will get a lot of views. Would be interesting to see if people's guesses were right.
This video forever made me love rats:Yeah, I've heard that pet rats are basically small dogs. Just as smart, affectionate, playful, and trainable.

Hi there
I'm on the phone with my vet (also my best friend, also a whole clinc of geniuses).
The wildlife expert in the clinic just sent me this:
"Allora non sono sicuro sia uno scoiattolo potrebbe essere anche un ghiro, cmq bisogna tenerlo al caldo 30 gradi avvolto in un panno umido ma non bagnato(per non farlo disidratare) , come alimentazione può usare un latte da gattini senza lattosio o, x 24 ore, il latte di capra non freddo ma a temperatura di corporea (circa 30 gradi) e pasti ogni 2 ore anche di notte."
Don't worry, i don't expet you to be fluent in italian, therefore:
"So, i'm not sure it's a squirrel it could be a dormouse, you must keep him warm at 30 degrees (celsius) wrapped in a damp cloth. Damp, not wet (it's so he doesn't get dehydrated).
As far as food goes you can use lactose free milk for kittens* or, for 24 hours, goat milk (30 degrees celsius as far as temperature is concerned).
He/she has to eat every 2 hours (yes, at night too)"
* he wrote this like it's an actual buyable product, i have no clue.
Hope this helps, definitely rooting for the little fella.
If you need anything send me a pvt with your skype contact. (i'm on there almost 24/7)
Hugs,
Gabe.
EDIT: typos
Seriously, you're pretty awesome. If I can help in any way, let me know!Yea I saw it, thanks
Finally got a milk band, so that's something. It still hasn't pooped but apparently not surprising in cases of dehydration, gonna keep at it on that front every 20 min or so
Sleeping in 90 minute shifts now
There was a sequel?! I had no clue.
Ugh, having to feed him every two hours is going to be tough, hopefully this phase doesn't last long.
I'm guessing a couple weeks at most given how fast these things grow ?
