Skinned Rat Baby (Dead) is the skinned body of a young rat. It counts as vermin and is a last resort meat. Once cooked, it lowers hunger by 12, but eating it adds a heavy 30 unhappiness.
The meat must be cooked first, since raw vermin can make a character sick. Cooked, it also goes into soups, stews, pies and stir fries, where its poor taste matters less. It weighs only 0.12, so it costs almost nothing to carry.
The meat stays fresh for 6 days and is rotten by day 10. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A cooked Skinned Rat Baby (Dead) lowers hunger by 12. It holds about 175 calories, with 22 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat. That protein helps keep a hungry character on their feet.
Eating it adds 30 unhappiness. That is a big blow to mood, so it is best saved for real emergencies. Eating it raw is dangerous and risks food poisoning.
A Skinned Rat (Dead) lowers hunger by 22 for the same unhappiness, so a grown rat is the better meal. Rabbit Meat lowers hunger by 30 and leaves mood steady. Any proper meat is a far better choice than a rat baby.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
