It does take time, alot of it aswell, They still have their wild traits in them.
i still have along way to go with mine i know that much, hand feeding them seems to help, thats how i have gained some trust from our pouchy, he is still abit jumpy once i have picked him up out the cage but i supose that will get better with time.
i kinda expected him to be like our domestic pet fancy rats, you know, after a few days or so everythings getting good, but obviously they are nothing like the domestic rat to me, as i said, he still needs alot of time and work put into him befor he gets anything like our domestic fancy rats, but like i said in another post, i dont give up
just keep hand feeding him, stroking him, holding him when you can ect and im sure intime he will get alot better.
ild love to see a picture of him
any chance of that?
