Hi, we got 3 female rats a week ago for my son's 9th Birthday. Lemmy (very very shy, won't even sniff our fingers), Bon (will have a sniff, but won't come close to us) & Francesca (Ballsy little thing, who will take food from me now & is always coming to say hello).
I know I need to handle them early (from pet store) but they are very skittish and I'm worried that I am scaring them!
After general advice really, on how to make them more used to us and keep them happy.
I feel quite stressed cleaning them out, as I am sure they are !! at the moment, I've just put them in a cardboard box but is a small travelling case better?
Any advice, wise words are welcome !
Thanks
