Stress Therapy

[DarkBlade]

Hey all!

Is there a way to calm a rat down stress-wise? Azury and Kamchie(her mom) have always been very affectionate and loving rats. They are not afraid of humans at all. BUT, they are so nervous, both of them. Any sudden movement or sound will make them jump and run away. I imagine it's a mom to kid thing. But still, my other ratties are nowhere near this nervous. Azury and Kamchie love human, they give lots of kisses. They're just nervous. Wondering if I can do something for their poor stress level XD

I've heard that Bach Flower Homeopathic Rescue Remedy can be helpful for some. I wouldn't know from personal experience though...

Some rats are nervous critters and there's not much you can do.
I've always have a couple of rats in my colony like that. I try to socialize them more but even then, it gets them super affection with me but still jumpy.

It's alright. I love them like that. Just wanted them to be less stressed for their own good. :doh:
