They get bored

Glad she already had her babies, an hour or two earlier and she would have bolted!
Guess the mother in her told her to stick around.

*eeps!* That could have been bad!! Glad you caught her before she decided to let you take care of the babies! ^_^

mine love doing that. :cool:

Yes they do, dont they? I.. I mean my Mom has 1 or so female rats she LOVES.. and the boys :D And well we keep them in 20 gallong longs, with the females top off and a large wheel in there. they LOVE the wheel. Something I would recommend to any who has rats. They dont like the mice/hamster wheels, they are too small and closed in, a wheel with both sides open. We use wire-like wheels, that we bought from petco. Our adult and young rats LOVE the wheels.

she looks like a beautiful rattie!
