My friend and I rescued these babies today
They are with a licensed rehabber now. Way too much driving on my day off. Worth it

Oh! That makes more sense. I thought they were rats from the first pic and was wondering who the heck rehabs wild rats.
Baby rats are very intelligent, empathetic creatures and want love too.
I can see that. Happy I could help them out.
These are a lot cuter than they are when they grow up.
Why you say dis...

Rats are so friendly though :(
Wild ones are plague carriers and can be very destructive to buildings and automobiles. We had a family of rats living under our shed at our last house. I decided to just let them be, and they multiplied like crazy. They turned my shed into a toxic waste zone, and got so numerous that they were running past us, like right in front of my feet, in the middle of the day. That's when I decided that they had to go. I didn't want to hurt them, but they spread like mad, and can't really just be left to be unless they're in a giant field or something. One rat can produce 144 baby rats over the course of a single year. If you count the offspring of the original single rat's offspring, they can produce up to 100,000 rats in one year!
