Baby rat rescue! Lincoln County Humane Society contacted us when they received a stray baby rat with injuries to his foot and tail. Poor Niblet’s back foot was bloody and quite swollen, and his tail had a large scab on it. We’ll never know what happened to Niblet, but we’re glad we were able to help this little guy. After picking Niblet up from the shelter, we took him to the vet. On top of the injuries, Niblet has a pretty serious respiratory infection. Quite a lot for a wee baby rat to go through in the short time he’s been on earth! The vet prescribed three different medications, and Niblet is now settling in at his foster home. We’re hopeful that the medications will do their job and that Niblet will feel better soon. He is a friendly and curious baby and he certainly doesn’t mind being handled. He’ll make a lovely companion for someone when he’s ready! Welcome to Ladybird, Niblet! We’re so happy you’re here! ❤️ Donate to Niblet’s care by visiting ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com . . #ladybirdanimalsanctuary #lookwhatlovecando #hamont #hamilton #animalrescue #rescue #rescued #rescuedanimals #adoptdontshop #dontshopadopt #foster #fostering #fosterpet #fosteringsaveslives #animals #rat #rats #ratsofinstagram #ratlife #ratstagram #babyrat #donate #give #animalcharity #niblet https://www.instagram.com/p/CDU42ROnLUb/?igshid=1igerptlm5aqz
