Yesterday my daughter came home with a small box - I knew something was up by that little glimmer in her eye. When she opened the box I was very surprised to find an itty bitty pink shape wiggling around inside. She found this 2/3 day old pink baby rat alone in the middle of the grocery store parking lot. She picked it up with a napkin and took it to the pet store which is right next door. They said that they couldn't take it because it was not domestic, however, they did fill a latex glove...
