Hi,
My rat Luna is a female about 2-3 years of age and she used to be a curious rat up until last week. She loved exploring and interacting with people and sometimes she will get bored of a new place after she’s gotten used to it. So what will happen is I would introduce her to a new room or I’d give her a little cage time to change the scenery and she would become interested again. She doesn’t want to eat her grains, but she’s always been picky. She eats sunflower seeds and mainly foods I’ve been feeding her from home as I checked they are safe like rolled oats, rice cereal, and rat salads, treats here and there like a yogi cheesy yogurt bite or a blue berry. She has also enjoyed snacking on the critter pops made out of rice and corn. When I bring her homemade rat meals she will eat them will delight and is quick to show interest. So that hasn’t changed. It’s also been warm and I’ve tried setting her fur a bit and using a fan and the ac runs usually. She is less eager to come out of her cage and I don’t really know what’s wrong or if she’s just old now and is less active? What do you guys think? Also I think she’s been getting enough water but she hates her water bottle and drinks out of small bowls now. I had to move because of corona virus and her old bottle got lost and I replaced it but she seems to hate it. My roommate found the old bottle and I am going to retrieve it once I have the funds to make a 4 hour trip to my old residence. Do you guys have any advice or maybe some insight to what’s happening? I’ve spent about 2 months in my new residence and she didn’t have lots of issues here until last week. She poops and pees everywhere when she’s out and about and never did that before too. She used to just go to her cage by herself. Please let me know what is happening. Thanks.
