So I adopted my Little Domino (AKA Merlin) from Lil ratsy's Rat Rescue from Lauren. ( I will always thank her for my Babies ) I remember her telling me that for some reason just before i got him he started to be Nervous when Picked up and taken from his cage, but once out he was fine, Like he was clamming up or something.
I said thats ok, I will work with him, and for a while He did just great, Not so shy, Would come right too me and come out and play with me too. He even didn't mind be getting him out myself.
Lately the past few Days, He I think is showing a bit of Aggression not just to Marley his Brother but Me even.
He and Marley are more Dominant them Onyx, He is very laid back, but Marley and Domino will stand up and tuff it out alot lately, No Scretching, blood, noise Nothing like that, but just pinning each other and then they go off here own ways. I assumed playing but Yesterday I notice, and I THINK few times before, then I stick my hand in there, they all come running, Marley licks me, like normal and Onyx come to me and like nibbles but to clean me never to bite, but Domino comes up and makes this noise, like a tshhh Tshh noise, and then he tries to push me out of the cage, and yesterday to see what He would do I didn't move, He jumped on my arm and DUG his nail right in to my arm twice and made me bleed then he tried again and almost bite, I moved before he did, i have picks of my arm, He did it on purpose I know he did it once and nothing the second time when he did it harder he drew the blood.
Have I done something wrong or is he Showing Dominance. I know I had to seperate him and Marley yesterday for a while as He did the same to marley. I reintroduced them later and he was fine, nothing has happened since, but he is the same way to me now when he is out playing, the whole Tshhh Tshh noise and then he goes for the jump and Claw thing???
I need help?
