Description Everyone meet lil Baxter!

Well, I was at the pet store yesterday and couldn't help but notice the new batch of feeder babes they had. I knew after Bruce's passing that I would get another rat...I don't like odd numbers in a rat cage...Doesn't matter how much they all like together, still means someones going to be left out, lol. And right now it's been poor Bruno who've I've seen sleeping in the corner alone.
So I figured why not save one of these lil guys and give them a loving home. I was a little mad at first because when I asked the employee if I could see them, he told me I personally wasn't aloud to stick my hand in the tank and that he had to take them out one by one for me...Ugh...I understand why they don't want you touching them all the time but how am I suppose to know which one 'wants' to be picked!
So i decided to take the one who was the most mellow and it happened to be this cute lil boy!
Right now I'm treating Baxter like a ticking time bomb. The tank that he was kept in, like I said, was a feeder tank and there were a couple babes in there that looked pretty lethargic so I have Baxter in his own lil cage far away from my boys just until I'm sure he's healthy.
Also I'm keeping him seperated until he's at least a little bigger...I wouldn't doubt it if he's only 3 weeks old...I mean he's about the size of that strain on hair sitting next to him, lol. I'm going to start him on boild eggs and baby food as he's skin and bones.
I'll put him in with the boys in about a week or so as Ben and Bruno LOVE babies, but for now, I think I'm going to do a little bonding with this boy...It's clear right now that he hasn't had much good quality human contact, but from what I've seen so far, he has a lot of love to give ...I've just got to teach him that it's okay to show it

Poor thing! It looks so tiny, scared, expecting love and caring... I'm sure that you take a good care for this rattie.

What a cutie!!! He is barley old enough to be away from his mother! So glad you rescued him from the feeder tank

Whaaaaaaat!? I can't believe such a beautiful rat would be used for snake food. T__T

Awwwww, he's barely a wisp of fluff! Can't wait to see him grow!

My last pet store rat I bought because when the worker opened the cage, one little baby stood up in the food bowl to say 'hi! ' to the human while all the others cowered in the corners.

What a poor little guy. Pet shop rats always make me go mad because of the obvious reasons. I hope he will soon become a strong and very healthy rat.
It's very considerable of you to keep him in quarantine at first
Good luck!
