Apparently its a bit like rats, there will be squeaking and chasing but if its constant or blood is spilt then its time for seperate cages, glad theyre getting on.

Frank should have been called speedy Gonzales its took me ages to catch him.. But the babies were easy..

Im so pleased with them..

Haha Frank has got the hang of the wheel.. but when he stops it nearly spins him right round...

Shall get a few small ones out for them, i just want to be able to catch them easy first and get everyone used to being handled..

Also Rodents.. P'H have changed their hamster muesli.. And its in balls now not pellets.. But the hamsters are still leaving the very dark ones.. they are not stupid..

If you get oliver a friend.. Be very careful, you will need another cage/tank for them.. also if it goes pear shaped you have a back up tank..

I originally had Peter and Paul.. and got Bill and Ben from the RSPCA to intro with them.. it didn't work.. they lived as pairs..

So with introing them be careful. Im pretty sure Frank isn't much older than about 12 weeks maybe a bit more so he is still very young.. So far so good.. But could of been so different.

Both

Reggie Rat is just pants. Its the equivilant of eating a takeaway every day.

Both rats & mice can have a Shunamite based diet which is far healthier and you get the fun of mixing it all up and picking out the ingredients

I did the same when I had hamsters. I used P@h Hamster museli as a base and mixed in some harry hamster, pearl barley, some mini pasta shapes, few mealworms and a few other bits and bobs.

I like to feed a variety to keep them interested and stimulated.

I also 'scatter feed' so they have to forage for it which gives them something to do and provides enrichment for them
