Hello! So as you may have seen me mention about a million times we ate getting our first rats just after Christmas! So excited!
I've done lots of reading but what I really want to know about is starting to let them out.
They'll be living in the playroom which is like a lounge. So the first day, should we get them out and just keep hold of them? Or can you let them explore the room from day 1? I know about getting rid of wires and sealing gaps, I just don't know how much to do with them and how soon! The room has wooden floor and a rug.
Also, DD will be great but DS will initially be nervous of handling them I'm sure, though he will love them. I've read that getting him a fleece with a front pouch might be a good idea to start with. Anyone done this?
Thanks
