How beautiful! We rescued a three or four day old deer or woodmouse (not sure which) from our cat's mouth over four years ago, and raised her successfully. She is the tamest and friendliest pet I've ever had, and I've had many. Sadly, she is winding down her time with us, and I'm glad to have come across your video; it's put a smile on my face.
They're very cute, and as an animal lover I want to commend you on rescuing them. But I gotta ask, are these pet rats from a store or rescue or are they street rats you found outside?
They are deer mice, actually. A couple of my co-workers found the nest in our building and were going to kill them, which made me want to cry. So my boyfriend and I rescued them. Catching the babies was easy, but their mom...oy...that's a long story.
Melissa - this is your dad's secretary! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? lol You are so precious to rescue these gross little things! Best of luck mommy and daddy!!! Hope you will keep us up to date on the growth and development of your new babies!

Good luck with the little family.
