Hi all,
I have been doing intros with my 4 older boys and the new, 2.5 month old babies. I don't know if i am going too fast or if what is happening is normal. I have never done intros with babies.
THe olders guys are fine, all but the big boss man simply sniff them and moves on. Gobo puts them in their place by pinning then. He has done this twice and we have done about 4 20min-1 hour intros.
The babies seem very fearful however. They freeze up when the other rats are around or hide in a tunnel the entire time they are out. One little guy screams and runs if Gobo comes near him.
Am i going too fast or is this how babies normally act and they will simply get used to it?
