so about a month ago i rescued two feeder rats one is Elliot and one is Chester .when i got them they were both from what i presumed male.. turns out one is not and is possibly pregnant (Chester). i recently got a bigger cage and they both seem to love. i let them get acclimated to the cage and they seem to love the new space. i took them out to play and Chester cuddled up and slept while Elliot was curious and was playing with me. i put them both back and offered them both their favorite treats. Chester seems uninterested in the treat so i let it go. about 30 minutes later she was running frantic around the cage so i decided to maybe see if i could comfort her..... nope.... i picked her up she lept out of my hand onto the floor and tried to run away. so i put her back in... i got some peanut butter (their most favorite treat) put a little bit on my hand and tried to offer it to her and she wouldn't take it... she then climbed onto my shoulder jumped into my laundry basket and i gently picked her up and put her in the cage. SHE HAS NEVER DONE THIS! since the day i got her she likes to cuddle and enjoy treats and explore she has never done this and im worried please help!!! any or all info would be great thank you
