So my 2 ratties males have been with me for exactly 15 days, so two weeks basically. Ash, likes me. He'll jump on the door bars if I approach and come running out for food (is greedy so I'm cutting down on it's fruit intake, feeding them veggies everyday). He's a sweetheart and enjoys time out the cage. Ace, however is very badly sighted. Both rats have red eyes but ace is an albino so bad eyesight indeed.
He's getting used to me walking in, he won't run as much but will still occasionally hide. He'll sniff my fingers and stuff. The only problem I have is the fact that he grabs food and my fingers really hard. If it's food, my fingers will be well away and he'll take it but he'll grab it so fast from me like he's starving. I know he's not because I see him eat. If I don't have food and let him sniff my fingers, he'll bite hard. I've had him Bute where he's cut me but I'm trying to keep that down.
I have made rules for myself. I'll let him sniff my hands (clean from food) but I keep them an inch or some from the bars so he can't bite through. I'll feed him but keep all fingers at the edge of food so he can't bite.
Any other tips?
