Flower Clover and Ivy absolutely love for me to scratch on them but when they want to be loved on. They will get on my lap and sit there so I know its love me time. Lilly on occasion will let me scratch her behind her ears but for the most part likes to spend her free range time destroying stuff. Now Jaz and Rose forget about it, Rose will only come near me when she wants to if I try to pick her up she squeals and heads for the nearest spot to hide, she is not a cuddly rat and Jaz she will let me hold her long enough to do a quick feel down and then she scrambles to get down.
