Okay so I got Jezzy from a snake owner she was repeatedly attempted to be fed to their snake but their snake refused to eat her. Honestly she has come along way. She no longer screams at me anymore or other rats and after her spay she adjusted to the colony quite well she even takes treats out of my hands and semi checks me out at the cage doors. But, she doesn't play with the other rats she chills with Bobo who has reached an age where he just wants to be lazy and I've written that off as maybe it's just part of her personality even tho she is only reaching 4 months old. Even tho she no longer screams she freaks out at being picked up and scrabbles to get out of my hands she seems like she wants to explore the room but after a month shes only gone as far as from chilling under the cage to the bottom of the bookshelf even though she has full range of the room and toys and she only stays out for the most 20 minutes before running back to the cage to hide away. I been getting her in the habit of chilling in my shirt she even will take treats from me and eat them in my shirt but she hasn't warmed up more to me anymore then taking treats from my hands. Is there anything else I can do to help Her warm up to me more? My other rats can't wait to crawl into my lap or play so the setting of an example isn't an issue. Am I just at the max to expect from her on the socializing end?
The longest I ever got her to stay on me after her chilling in my shirt it lasted about as long as it took for her to gulp down the yogie lol
