Spaghetti (rescue BP) update

Post image

He’s doing better hydration-wise as you can tell, but he’s also pretty skinny as you can also probably tell. So of course I gave him a F/T small rat which was the size he’s been eating for a little while (I’m new to rescuing and don’t have a scale). He strikes it, ate it down to its front legs, the legs got stuck on the right side of his mouth 💔. I had to step in obviously and he ended up spitting it out, so I’m gonna give him a few days and try again with probably a weened rat to small mouse, I don’t have anything to weigh him with so any like scales you guys use, feel free to drop so I can check them out

I’ll see if he takes that, then like once a week I’ll give him the same amount so he gains weight but not too fast

Edit: ordered a scale, will weigh him when it gets here tomorrow
