so I've been reading the different threads about nervous rats and cagemates fighting and I'm still not sure what to make of alice's situation.
All of the girls have accepted willow but gloria and emily are still picking on alice really bad. It's really strange becuase gloria and alice were sleeping together and now they're not. Gloria will get puffed right up and start picking on Alice really bad.
Today in fact when I was holding alice, gloria came up and bit her tail! I couldn't believe it. Poor alice has some little wounds on her from being in a few scraps with gloria and emily. She's soooo nervous around any of the others too. She was cuddled up with Raina on the bed but when I put raina in the cage first and then alice and alice was nearly face to face with raina she started that scared hissing type noise.
It's really quite weird because she'll follow gloria around on the bed but then when gloria figures this out alice runs away and gloria will chase her and do the puffed up and side pushing thing.
I just feel really bad for alice becuase she's so afraid which is probably why she's getting picked on in the first place. She even yelps when I go to pick her up.
Any advice?
