Have you seen this with the baby at all?
If I remember correctly you should be able to see the see the full "milk belly" in all most all baby animals that are hairless.

If I remember correctly baby rats start getting hair when they are about that big so I doubt it is a rat, but I can't guarantee that. My guess would be a squirrel, opossum, mink, etc...

Do you mind if I copy & x-post the pics?


I would say that the baby needs more food than that. You will probably have to force feed him by gently pushing the oral syringe in his mouth but only give a TINY amount at a time, if you push too much into him it can go into his lungs, at that age & size it would be deadly. I think he also need to eat a little more frequently, like every 1-1.5 hours.
Also be sure to read the article on stimulation the bowels & kidneys.
