it might be easier and better for the babys (proper milk and all that) to fine someone local who has a litter the same age and foster them across i do this with mice that are bad mothers with sucess (have done it with rats to)

Hello, i have 3 rats that are feeding babies atm so if all else gos bad then i'm sure one of mine would foster them still older and then you can have them back, and i'd need to know how old your ones are as my mum rats are great and have taken on younger ones when one mum just didn't want to know...
All the best tho hun
