I'm wondering how many people out there have the wild colored rats (agouti selfs), and if they are all really crazy!
I've had this female for a while now, I kept a baby from her first litter who, in turn, just had her first litter. I thought that this rat's baby would be much friendlier, and then that baby's baby would be even more tame. Well, it didn't turn out as planned. I kept the tamest baby from the original female and she's even more crazy than her mom! Her babies seem to be on the crazy side tooAll of my other rats are tame, you can pet them, scratch them, hold them, love them etc, but these wild rats run like crazy and try to escape every time I even look at them.
So my question is, is there any point in me trying to tame them? Should I keep crossing them with my "normal" rats and see if they eventually calm down. I'm starting to think this rat isn't wild colored, it's straight off the streets!
Here's the original female, her daughter looks exactly like her, just more crazy
and her psycho daughter
