It has been 15 years since I have had a rattie and then I was a kid. :wink2:
So I was hoping for some advice on the best way to introduce the boys to our home, us and free play.
They will be about 5 weeks old when we get to bring them home, they are brothers and from a breeder.
Do we start handling them right away or do they need time to adjust?
I know some of this may depend on their personalities too.
But just want to make sure we do not do anything that could cause problems or scare the boys.
We have a new nice size Martin's cage that is full of hammocks, toys and fleece :nod:
and an area in the dinning room that can be closed off and is rat proof and ready.
I also ordered a pocket carry pouch, so we could hold them
but they could feel safe too.
