Baby Rat Runt


 My rat and another rat just mated and had babies. There were 17 but 7 of them died. There is one little white runt that is in the litter. I'm don't see it getting much food or water. It already has it's eyes open but I'm still worried about the health. What should I do?

What i think you should do is maybe put him in a temparary cage maybe a critter trail mini something small and make sure he get's enough food and water.

How old is the runt?


Because it should be kept with his Mom till he is 4 weeks old, there is always a runt in the litter so mostly don't worry.


I'm sure he's getting food and water, do you watch him 24/7?


Also please keep him with his other SAME sex Brothers. Well if its a girl please keep her with the other girls in the litter.
