Hello

Hi,

My name is Kathryn. I recently came to have some very young babies. One died and I want to make sure the other one does not die either. I have had rats almost continuously for over 10 years, but never any this young. I am only just starting to really learn about them beyond the basics (because of the babies) and I hope to learn more!

Welcome. Sorry about your little one. Hopefully your other will with do much better. I'd also consider getting a new buddy for the remaining one once you are sure he's healthy.

There are some great threads devoted to baby rat care. Includes feeding/supplements, housing, etc
