How can you tell if a baby rat is alive?

To determine if a baby rat is alive, observe for signs of movement or breathing. A living baby rat will typically exhibit some form of activity, such as twitching or squirming, and you may see its chest rise and fall as it breathes. Additionally, gentle handling can elicit a response, such as squeaking or trying to move away. If there are no signs of movement, breathing, or responsiveness, it may indicate that the baby rat is not alive.
