Currently being tamed by 4 rats. ☺🐀🐀🐀🐀
They were getting REALLY tame, hopping onto my hand for snacks, grooming themselves in my palm, giving me little licks and tiny nibbles (gentle ones!) and starting to enjoy rubs behind the ears. But after the escape, they got really skittish (well, I can't speak for the escapee because it was busy having the time of his life having full control of our bathroom!)
I can only assume that when the escape happened, something happened to spook them about being handled.
I have started the taming process again, we are making slow but steady progress ( they are beginning to show an interest in food I hold in my hand with my hand lay on the floor of the cage) and are also once again occasionally coming to the bars of the cage as if they are interested in me.
I'm not going to build my hopes up, but I'm going to do the very best I can. I'm buying an extra cage when I get paid, so that I can attach it to their current cage to double it's size.
