Hello Everyone,
I have two baby rats, eyes closed, that were saved from a burn pile, and I am wondering the best way to get them to eat. Do you use a syringe? Bottle? I am not going to tube feed, thought about soaking a piece of bread with esbilac and let them suckle the bread. They are hydrated, warm. Momma was with them until a few hours ago. SHe ran off when the burn pile was lit. Person who lit it feels terrible....
Thanks for any information!

With baby mice you use a tiny artist paint brush. Dip the brush in formula and they will suckle the formula from the bristles. :thumbsup
