    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    I'm amazed it's already October! The agouti's are doing great and seem to be quite happy here :D They are on the same playtime schedule as the rest of the ratkids in the house (daily) and have their own area (bathroom with door closed) to play in that is ratproof for them and gives me easy...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    An update as I haven't been on much and I know Shelagh asked me to keep in touch about how they are doing :) I recently got a new set of cubes from Astird as I had asked her to make me some that were custom that would be large enough for 3 rats to be comfortable in but also to only have one...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    A short update :dance: Last night was cage cleaning night so my resident herd had a quick playtime and then I worked on the agouti kids cage to get it cleaned. They didn't want to come out so that of course made it interesting. I got them all upstairs and put the tile across the down ramp...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    Had another playtime tonight. Same routine, got them all up top then blocked the ramp with a tile and they all moved into the box. In went some of their rat rags from in cage and we went to the bathroom. Amazingly enough Blue and Tippy were the first ones to come up and climb on me. I was...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    Is barbering a commonplace thing with the wild kids too as a nervous issue? When they arrived I noticed Violet had some barbering spots, particularly in spots she isn't able to reach. Then last night when I was feeding everyone Violet and Tippy were in the hammock and I saw Tippy barbering her...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    I just got chills reading that post Shelagh. Two babies on the wall is the exact response I get from all three given the option of where to go if they are cornered and I don't have something above too. In fact when they were at the former owners' house in the single CN they were all over the...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    They look like normal agouti's to me. Ears, face, tail, and body all look like domestic. The body language is seemingly also the same, just ultra scared rat body language. I've never seen halfies in person before myself.

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    Tippy is the lunge/biter though so far I have avoided teeth. She got me the first time I met her.

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    Not giving rats daily playtime is beyond my mental capacity, they get a playtime daily period. I decided it was time that I stepped up to the plate and went back to my original plan of the box. I blocked the ramp from the main level of the 695 as they were all up on the top level and put some...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    When I first met them a week ago, I used a towel to wrap them up in and pick them up or rather tried too, they slithered right out. And the one time I did get one of them into my grasp, Blue, he flew out of my hands (still not sure how that happened) and hit the floor and it took us an hour and...

    Agouti trio - in need of some socialization ideas!!

    Hiya all! Long time no see, I know I know!! I'm in need of some major ideas. Long story short, I recently took in a trio of agouti kids from someone local who was not able to work with them in any capacity and socialize them. They have pretty much only had a playtime every two weeks or so...
