Wild rats now 5 weeks old

This is one of the baby wild rats I rescued from our compost bin. They are now about 5 weeks old, and despite being friendly and never biting, I suspect they will always have a wild streak

Even though they're grown up now, they're still cute
If you have a look at my other videos, they show how I hand fed, toileted and warmed them when they were babies
Good luck, it's lots of fun!
