Since becoming an owner of pet rats, I haven't been able to handle my BP, mostly because I'm terrified he'll smell a rat and bite me. Any tips? I'm going to try to handle him soon, I haven't taken him out except to feed him in a few months. I'm thinking wash my hands, wait til he's eaten again recently. Any other tips? He's always been docile, but every time I go near his tank recently he seems excited about something. He's never bitten me, and he's only struck at me once. Thanks guys
