My friend has rescued a little naked boy from being a snakes lunch.
I have watched this little fella and he seems completely unsure of what to do with himself. He grooms, eats his lab blocks, but doesnt seem interested in much else. I hear sniffles, no porph and some slight other noise..not quite wheezing, but close if that makes sense.
I suggested a vet visit and that will be handled this week. In the meantime Im not even sure how old this little guy is.
I have kept rats for years and not seen one at this age not happy go lucky and playful. I suppose I am worried about the little mite and want to see him get his shot at a nice life. He isnt really "young", not to soon to be taken from mom, Im guessing five weeks or so. He wont take treats, wont eat anything other than lab blocks.
So how concerned should I be? Is there anything to do while waiting on the vet visit? :heart:
