Hello! My name is Sam, i have had an orphaned baby roof rat for about a week now. I have had him slowly introduced to raw goats milk and he seems to be doing well on it. He’s very active and digests it well. But after some research I see soy based human formula is best for him and the goats milk may not have enough fat. Should I switch him over to the soy formula? I would use mammal electrolytes in between for the transition but I don’t want to shock his digestive system by switching him to three milks (moms-goat-soy) within three weeks of life. Please let me know what you guys think thank you! Also how do I tell if it’s a boy or girl? No gonads but I don’t know if it’s too early to see them. Thanks again for any help!
