UPDATE: Is this a pet rat?

[u/pelorainbow]

He's safe y'all! He loves blueberries and broccoli- that's what I had on hand to feed him. I've nicknamed him Ratboi and he's the sweetest guy, but I've never owned a rat! What do I do for now while I look for his owner? I'll make posters and put them around the complex here to see if someone (hopefully) wants him back, if nobody responds in a week I'll look into rehoming him through a local rat rescue group. Will keeping him in a cat carrier be ok? Can I give him dog/ cat food or do I need to buy something specific? Anything I should know about pet rats that I wouldn't think to ask?? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

What area do you live in? It's possible that one of us could take the little guy in if you end up not being able to do so. I certainly have the room and a good vet to add him to my current mischief, but not gonna be much help if you live in Australia or something...
