I am assuming this is an adult wild caught (WC) tiger rat you just acquired. I have never kept them, but understand they are ususally good feeders. If it is a WC, it could be harboring parasites. I would take it to the vet for a parasite check, or at least do a precautionary treatment of flagyl and panacur to clean it up. Also, if WC, it could be just adjusting to the new environment and needs awhile to acclimate. Do you know if the tiger is captive bred or wild caught? Also, ask the seller what they were feeding it. Sometimes that helps. Do the usual check of temps, etc. as well.
