you van just use normal milk , but put it in an eye dropped and microwave it. put one drop from the microwaved milk on your wrist if it feels cold on your wrist its too cold if it feels hot on your wrist its too hot . and you cant tell its on your wrist or if it just feels warm its perfect. pick up your baby rat carefully and put one drop on its lips in a couple seconds the drop mwill go away because the little rat will have drank it do this many times intill the rat is full (depending on the sixe of the rat, my rat could cover about 2cm squared so i give him 3 small drops for his samll tummy) after fed put the somewhere warm and really soft so they will me comfortable (MAKE SURE THEY ARE OUT OF REACH OF OTHER ANIMALS!!!) they will sleep for a while . feed them about every 2 to 3 hours to keep them healthy and keep it down to small feeding so you dont give them tummy aches. good luck with your babies! do not give the whole milk you must have soy milk rat are lactose intorant

Do rats have placenta?
Yes, when rats are born they each come attached to their own placenta, which the mother then licks off and eats. There is one placenta for each baby rat, but if the mother rat doesn't expel the placenta it can rot inside her and make her sick even to the point of death. Baby rats are connected to their placenta by their umbilical cord. Sources: I breed and research rats=)
