I’ve had them over a month now they’ve taken from me Once properly eaten while left in the enclosure and struck just last week but hit hide instead of rat and wouldn’t try again everytime they have eaten it’s been a white and brown male rat they are very curious I’m not pushing handling incase it’s just a case of settling in they’ve been out of enclosure once I let them come out themselves I did see if they wanted to come onto my hand and they did they changed mind I didn’t pick them up until I had to redirect from wires and when I put them back the handling side of things I don’t mind if it takes months aslong as they are happy and healthy that’s all I’m bothered about they are very curious usually if I open the tub peaking their little head out of hide to see what I’m doing haha if they are out of the hide and I’m in the room they happily will carry on exploring around tub tounge flicking but they are due shed any minute they are hiding a lot so I’m just seeing if it’s that I’m still going to try feed them next week unless they go into blue
