Walking out of the movie theater, I saw a commotion as a few people were crowding around an obviously domesticated rat scrounging for food.

No one stepped up, so I took him home.

Congratulations! If youre going to keep it, be sure to feed it the right foods. (Mice dont like cheese, no matter how much they claim otherwise in cartoons, comics, and so on.)

(Edit: Feel dumb now as Ive only now noticed its a rat, which is distinct from mice.)

The internet said grains, veggies, fruits, and seeds/nute, so I gave him a piece of Daves wheat bread and he inhaled it

He looks like a Long Evans Hooded, which you dont really see on streets.

Do you work near a university or pharma lab by chance?

He does! Googling, there is one lab sort of near? But it seems abandoned

RIP.

Well that ruined my day :(

Sorry dude :(

Yeah, he lived in a comfortable old pet cage and ate good people food and slept pretty comfortably for a few days, so thats a good thing.

I wonder if he choked on something I fed him? Everything I gave him I saw was ok online, some crackers, strips of wheat bread, a sliver of a date, and a sliver of Brazil nut? He died with his face buried in the food plate though

Dang, I'm really sorry to hear that.

I wonder if it was possibly refeeding syndrome. Basically the mineral imbalance that happens when someone (people and animals) eat normally or especially excessively after a long time of starvation.

Also, rat choking is incredibly rare, due to the structure of their throats, so it likely wasn't that. It's very possible he just had some disease you couldn't have known about, which might have been why he was abandoned to begin with. It's sad, but you did good, don't question it.
