So ive had my Rat Caeser for about 2 weeks now and he was great always let us pick him up and started to get to the point where he would walk right up to us, so since getting him we got him a friend, my new rats name is tums and he was from the same litter as caeser so they got along fine, but now the problems start,
Tums wont let us pick him up, he struggles ALOT and makes lots of squeking sounds, he also runs for the hills if you just even try to touch him, also when you put your hand in the cage he goes right for your finger tips and starts to bite them, how should i go about getting him used to us.
The other problem is now caeser bites, hes never done it before but now he does, most of the time its just our finger tips, Thanks for the help!
PS. these are the first rats ive ever owned, only ever owned guinea pigs and had 2 litters
