new baby rats

Question
hi i tried to hand raise a baby mouse before but it died. Have a lot of pets but these are my first baby rats the no longer drink milk and the have fir and open eyes.but ones kinda shie they where sopost to be feeder rats but i buyied them for pets to save them do U know what they need to eat i have some hamster food in the cage. i need help socializing them

Answer
Rats dont eat hamster food. It is not good for them. Just like you  should not give a dog cat food, you should not give rats food meant for other animals. Hamsters have different needs than rats and can make the rats organs not function right.

Check out my website on proper diet and also there is a page on how to train shy rats too.
