Last Saturday I got 2 boy rats from Pets At Home. In the shop they were super friendly, one was even sitting on my shoulder! But since we brought them home they pretty much just scarper out of the way when we try to touch them. The cage is quite big but only has a small door at the front so they can easily keep out of the way. One did come out for a treat on Monday but just had a tentative look and wouldn’t be stroked. I’m wondering how I get them to come out as they seem to be getting less inquisitive by the day. I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to handle them when I can’t reach them or touch them. I am a first time owner so this is all very new to me. Any hints and tips would be great.
Thanks
