I’m sure this is the same thing that everyone does but I want to start off by saying I am not seeking alternative vet advice, my boys are healthy. They have a huge clean rat condo with lots of toys, enrichment, food and treats but I have a concern. Since I brought them home two and a half months ago I have not left them overnight. We play every chance I get when they are willing and I thought we were building a strong bond! However I left to stay the night at my sisters house last night. I made sure they had lots of food and clean water, chew treats clean snuggle blankets etc. but when I came back home tonight they were and are acting different. They are hiding and don’t want to come out. They seem genuinely scared after less than 24 hours of my absence. Has anyone else experienced this? Are they ok? How do I help them and what did I do wrong? Are they mad at me? I’m just scared I don’t know what changed.
