I bought my first pet rat a week ago. I was planning on getting two, but the only pet store in my area that had any rats only had this one.
He's a cute little thing, but the past few nights when me and my boyfriend were handling him he seemed to be freaking out a bit.
He would twitch, jump around and, run from one side of the bed to the other in 2 seconds flat.
I've read that rats are naturally nocturnal, but are they supposed to have THIS much energy?
Also, I know rats are better in pairs, does this have to do with him not having a "rat-mate"?
I'm really worried, so if anyone has any suggestions or information on why he's like this it will be greatly appreciated.
