So, our rat blueberry was unexpectedly pregnant when we got her. She had 14 little babies 9 days ago. They all seemed very healthy and blueberry was being a very good mom, but was aggressive so I only handled the babies once daily. I noticed yesterday while handling them that there are 3 very small babies. One of them is all skin and bones; I am completely distraught over it. I got some soy baby formula but the 3 really don’t want to eat. Today I cleaned the cages, and moved mom and babied into a bigger area and I found a dead baby! It was also very tiny. So I tried to feed the small ones again this morning but still no luck, and one of the bigger ones had build up in its nose that I had to clean out because I don’t think it could breathe well.
I don’t really know what to do, I know that the small ones may not make it because they seem to have failure to thrive, but I would really like to save them.
Any help would really be appreciated.
