Congratulations on your new additions! Aren't they just wonderful little creatures? Did anyone tell you about the 'down the shirt' trick? Put on a T-shirt and then a loose sweatshirt over that, then grab all your ratties and stuff them down your shirt. It's a great way to bond with them. If I stick my hand in the cage now with a loose sleeve, someone always crawls up it! LOL
They are absolutely AMAZING creatures, and have stolen my heart forever. They all want to be with me all the time, even during playtime out of the cage. They are so gentle, curious, intelligent and, as you rightly say, wonderful. All three of mine are shoulder riders and are trying to climb up my arms constantly
I didn't know about the 'down the shirt' trick, but Poseidon was trying to crawl down my shirt today when he was on my shoulder, so I'll definitely try it.
